Thread: Hunting areas close to South Auckland

We had a red hind trying to jump the fence INTO my mates paddock on Brownhill rd, Whitford during the roar. I may of been 1 of his escapees or offspring of as he had red/wapiti for decades. Farm is gone now but she was living wild around there somewhere.

Woodhills good for a day a year if you win a ballot. Ridiculous amount of deer there, all the way down to Muriwai.
Mate used to regularly tip over reds in some block of doc native behind kumeu. Never told me exactly how he was doing it before he died but I understand it was fairly legal.
Quite a few reds in riverhead but blocks around it are too small and full of horses and alpacas.
There’s reds around clevedon and hunua, but they’re too sporadic to really hunt just yet.
Used to be sizeable herds behind the quarries at hunua and drury but councils been hammering them as they move out towards ranges.

There’s a metric shitload of fallow all over the awhitu peninsula, right from waiuku.

Plenty of reds over river Te Kōhanga/ port Waikato.
Waiuku cops are hot on illegal hunting so don’t even consider it.
If you’re a half decent bloke and get out and meet a few people you’ll find doors start to open.
Use a suppressor to keep the horsey people happy, and don’t take any risks with houses etc (goes without saying but always good to keep it front of mind).

Certainly beats thrashing around in the kaimais lol.

P.S please note I haven’t told you where I catch my pigs or exactly where I shoot deer 🤣

I used to work at the Hunua quarry, they also get their own shooters in for deer that hop the fence

Drive to airport, fly to Christchurch
