    A timetable so you know when they'll be there and arrows so you know which way to look.

    I can’t believe you fell for that. Here’s a tip, don’t expect people to help when your first post is asking for spots. Contribute first then see what happens.

    @Reon Morrison , There's also easy country and some deer in the Kaimanawas.
    One strategy would be to join the Sika Foundation who run fly in trips a few times a year, generally a 4 day long weekend. It works well if you have a couple of mates to book one together but if you're on your own, give them a ring and let them know your situation. Often a space on a chopper comes available at the last minute when someone pulls out.
    Joining one of the NZDA branches would also work but might need more time to get to know people and get invited on trips.

    The nearest worthwhile public land to Auckland is the Kaimais and its no secret a lot of people go up the Wairere falls track. I suggest doing a day trip and spend 6 or 8 hours up there while the days are long, having a mosey about. It's flat and navigation is a challenge so be ready for that. The bush is 80% easy and nice to move through. Search the forum for more info. Post a report of your trip (without giving exact details of where you saw deer) and likely more advice and recommendations will come out.

    Mate go to the bottom end of Queen Street, turn right into Fort Street, find the White Lady burger cart. They come out after dusk.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I actually don’t know if the white lady is there any longer but it was when the sd for Tooheys Extra Light beer was filmed. The hind eating the burger is Zoe a hand reared one of mine. The entire ad was shot using animals from my herd and my neighbours herd.
