Yep, you are targeting the 2 mostly likely areas, the Tararuas and Haurangis.
Now just concentrate on some specific spots so that you get to know them really well and perseverance will give you the rewards. Even the most popular spots will yield deer, especially if you give yourself the comparative advantage of knowing where they hang out and what they get up to during the seasons (not wanting to be patronizing...maybe you already know this stuff).
I reckon on public land, there are very few short cuts to getting a deer.
Once you get yourself into it, PM me and I will see what I can do to help.
