Thread: Mangatawhiri / Hunua access

"A lot of deer up there"... I'd like to see proof of that. If you're referring to the bush block off Paparata Road, then yes, I hear the same. I also hear the private land owners don't let anyone in there and are trying to crack down hard on poachers since some monkey started a bush fire about a year ago.
Same story goes for Winstone Quarry... We hear there are deer in there, but no one is given permission to hunt. If anyone finds private access to hunt anywhere in the Papakura-Hunua area and actually manages to find a deer and shoot it, then bloody good on ya. I'd rather spend my time hunting where I know there are indeed plentiful animals, like the Kaimais, Rotorua Lakes, Whirinaki/Te Urewera, Kaimanawas, Pureora etc.

heading down to the hunuas this weekend to have a look at a private block on the kaiawa side

The Lyons rd winery is now the rural campus for Dilworth boys school. I know cos we had a look at it earlier this year. No grapes now

Confirmed. My grandson spent his first year at Dilworth down there.
