Welcome to the forum, Dan.
My brief experience with Otaki Forks was a hike through to Waitewaewae Hut and there was quite a bit of sign on the high point saddle on that track.
You can have that spot for free cos I can't be arsed walking that far again
also +1 for joining ya local Deerstalkers
Best results for pest control is scrub yourself up and go doorknocking (without a rifle on your shoulder) the likely looking farms in your area.
Good luck with your progress and keep us posted
