Thread: Kaimai hunting areas

Was wondering what areas have higher deer numbers so I can get my first deer

Probably not the place to start to be honest mate. Very thick and low numbers.

What would be a good place to get my first deer without to much hassle

Sounds like you are keen to put in the hard yards, haha!
Get your boots on, grab your gun and daypack, pick a spot and go for a walk, you aren't gonna shoot one sitting behind your computer so instead of asking about good spots to get your first deer go for a wander and find some of your own spots, thats half the fun! Good luck!

Probably a paid guided hunt on private property.

Don't mind putting in the hard yards, just wanting places to bag a deer over a weekend , not a week

Realistically if you're new to hunting it will take longer than a weekend to bag a deer on public land. Not to try put you off mate; fresh air is good regardless of the hunting. No shame in going private to get you started.

It took a while aye @phillipgr but you were out there learning at every chance humping your pack anywhere and everywhere. then the hard work paid off and now your taking deer more often then not. cant shoot deer with a keyboard @James sully get a book like hunting smarter HUNTING SMARTER get out there and look for footprints and shit and keep walking untill you find fresh sign. no substitute for getting out there.

A week? A fucking week?

I've edited this post so many times and still can't think of anything particularly nice to say! I wonder if I could ask my AO if we could also add an IQ And spelling test to the FAL application... *sigh*

The best thing that came out of this thread is that everyone can clearly see what a GC Ally is and maybe she'll be getting a beautiful black rifle one day...

Shouldn't be too far off, it's in the works ... hopefully haha! (Employment status still pending to afford some things as I'm broke. Below the poverty-line broke! ) @Dougie Cheers for that matey! I'm going to email you in a week about the deets of coming up to Wellington at the end of the month, coz I'd been keen to meet ya and get up to something!

Also this is a pretty dead horse here being beaten. And I've seen a lot of dead horses, you don't wanna touch them bury and it leave it be!

If there's things you need never be too proud to ask. You never know, things like a-cat safes with all the e cat upgrades that have gone on in recent times may be lying around. I would donate one to you if I lived closer.
