Thread: Many deer left in the Tauherinikau ?

I haven't kept track of how frequent the drops have been in the valley or their effects, wondering whether I should take rifle as well as rod for a school holiday trip? Any local advice please?

Definitely take a rod. Would be keen to know about the deer too.

No deer in there at all, place is dead.

Very very true

lotsa hunters, lotsa trampers, too busy these days

I left the rifle at home in the end - given that I had been assured that there were no deer.
And the fishing: all the pools had at least one obvious fish, I didn't even bother looking into the faster water. Great weather over the past 2 days for sight fishing.

Slip shooting gets underway in the SE Ruahines in another 4 weeks, somewhere much more in need of a reduction in deer numbers, so I'll take what I need from there.

There will be about half a dozen less reds in Tauherinikau next week.
