Thread: Hunting in the Malborough Sounds

I was brought up in that area - went to Canvastown School, our family farmed in the Pelorus and Rai Valleys for 5 generations. Our farm backed the Wajamarina Valley. I've hunted in the Wakamarina as a youth (that was 50 years ago haha) and extensively in the general area. For some reason goats and pigs abound in that area, but unless things have changed - not many deer. I can recall only one or two deer being shot on our place in the 18 years I was there. Just seeing sign from one moving through was a big thrill. Strange cause there were plenty on other watersheds not far away. I'd love to hear about how you get on up there, the Wakamarina had always been home to a wide variety of folk from different viewpoints!
