    Hopfully there's a few more deer around when we head in, can you remember what it was like travelling up and down river to get away from the hut ? I know there a group in before us for 5 nights so I can imagine the close valleys will see a bit of pressure.

    Yeah mate , sounds like its still pretty much booked up for the roar period . We had a party camping up stream from us a couple hrs walk as well.
    The river is easy walking but some deep pools that are bit deceiving with the water so clear.
    We got onto stags fairly close to the hut and got within 20 mtrs or so of a couple but still couldn't see them before they twigged us.
    I see your location is listed as Perth, i was living there too when we flew into Korohi biv. i've know idea what the deer population is like in there nowdays but i would say probably more deer then 2016, just need a bit oF luck LOL

    Was the block with helisika when you flew in 30late ? My understanding they are now privatley booked so shouldn't have any other hunters in there ? I havnt kept up to date with the politics of these blocks.

    Thanks heaps savage1 I will definitely go and check out that area and could be a good spot to put the trail camera up.

    I'm pretty sure I was in the group before you, there was nothing roaring when we were there that time but a mate shot a stag by waiting at a wallow.
