fifty quid to knob of goat shit anyone trying to access that property of surrounding land will be turned down as a dirty "cunter"...... Miss Chen, thats almost your back yard,maybe you should track them down and see if access is forth coming...

Ive actually sent out a couple of letters for access to private land around the Dunedin and Catlins areas but havent heard back yet, might never hear back. But yeah the catlins public areas are chock full of deer and they do leave their mark. Thats the place I managed to run into a red within 5 meters. Not sure if the properties mentioned in the article are interested in a hunter like me in there, as I just shoot the first thing I find and leave with meat. But if they would let me in I would happily shoot more than 1 if I happen upon more than 1. The little Tautuku forest huts run by forest and bird are a nice place to stay as well. If they let us know problem areas and gave us easy access, hundreds of hunters including myself would even be happy to pay a fee to get some venison.
