Just drive up to the Ureweras and park your car at Ruatahuna or Minginui and jump into the bush there for a few hours. Heaps of deer there. You're guaranteed to shoot one.

I really hope this boy stays around for a while he's cracking me up. But i really really hope he does not have or will ever have a FAL. You do have to worry.

Just have to get out and try some of the spots on public land ( national parks) find some areas you are comfortable with, read a few books take it all in and eventually you will get a chance for a shot. sometimes newbys get lucky and bag one quickly but for most of us it takes time , learning the areas , best time of the year for tops , bush etc but most of all enjoy the total experience.....

It took me a year and a half walking in Kaimais before i found a deer. I learnt how to hunt without any advice or anyone to help, Now i would say 90% of trips i see or hear one. freezer always has venison in it.

Nothing beats learning by your own mistakes and exploring. Think anywhere in kaimias worth a trip.

Welcome to the forum Froggy, well done mate, thats the attitude....

what VC said, put some hard yards in, listen, learn, then forum members will gladly volunteer to help you out, took me over a year to drop one, many (too many) fruitless weekends seeing nothing....

all makes up for it when you get your first!!!!!!

wow man I have never laughed so hard

If he actually gets off his arse and has a look in the Kaimai's, he'll get his deer. A heap of deer in there. A forum search would show the obvious access points.....

Hes been and gone bro. Trolled for an evening, made us laugh then crawled back under his rock

wow what a thread haha.

Sweet @Aly I'm headed away for a long weekend end of the month, let me know your dates chick and see if we can catch up.

Hey guys
I headed up Thompsons track on Saturday for a look around and couldn't believe the state of the track. there's about 6 good sections that are fully wiped out or covered by slips. I believe the council recon $180,000 to fix the track but to be fair I cant see the track being open to bikes or 4x4s again. Bit of a shame for the bikes and that but good for the hunters. Oh wait that's right halve the bush is missing up there now thanks to logging.
