Kaweka's

Hey Guys,

So just looking for a few suggestions as to hunting the Kaweka's.
Since my usual haunts have been bombed by 1080:pissed off: and I can no longer take the mutt for a walk in there till its all gone I'm looking for suggestions about somewhere I can go in the kaweka's for a bit of a change of scenery.
I've only ever been into this range once before and that was into the kiwi saddle area in the spring. Its is a very long drive for me to get there. What would be the closest place in the kaweka's for me to access from taupo? Any suggestions would be appreciated and I may be able to help you with some places to go in the kaimanawa's in return.

Cheers.

Ahimanawas may be a good start. Closer and has good numbers and the occasional Red.

Agree. Watch out for stinging nettle though, there's plenty. And its what shot deer like to tumble into. Although it dies off in the winter. Autumn is a bitch for it in there.
