    Moa Stream Hut

    Hi Guys.
    We are planning on heading into Moa Stream/North stream area next week (Wilberforce area)
    Never been there before.
    Any advice would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    take insect repellent and cover up, the sand-flies in that area can be brutal

    The public hut is the one about 3/4hr upstream, front hut is private belonging to Mt Algidus Station.
    Good country to get around, as you would have seen on earlier NZ Hunter tv programmes.
    As Danny said, dont go without your repellant.

    What about animal numbers?
    Are there Thar in this area as well as Chamios and Deer?

    Take a fly as well, good chance the hut will be full. Theres been a bit of traffic up there for the past few weeks, everybody in too much of a hurry to shoot a velvety stag. And The Hunters Club are in that area this week too.

    Gold rush on again
    At least the track will be getting smoother until the next flood.

    Bugger! Not what I was wanting to hear.
    Pilot mentioned Lyell Hut area as an option as well if any of you know much about that area.

    Personally wouldn’t fly in there the access is far to easy for that, just about guaranteed to bump into a few other hunters at this time of year. A few reds and chamois about and the very odd tahr.

    Lyell's a bit too far for most deer. But the odd tahr and chamois around. Try the West Mathias Biv if you're thinking of flying, theres a few deer around.

    I bloody forgot about the stupid roar, now they'll come pouring out of the cities in their 9ft tall four wheel drives with winches and snorkels and look at me stickers plastered all over them, tearing up tracks, jamming up huts with bodies, gear, booze and rubbish, shooting in the general direction of anything that moves, filling up the same valleys, crawling all over the same hillsides with fixed crazy 1000yd stares and fingers on the trigger, drooling as they twitch like Obidia as they desperately search for that thing they can kill that proves to their mates that they are in fact men, chest beating hunters providing antlers for the tribe to eat.

    Time to go nowhere that doesn't require at least 8hrs hard slog over steep difficult country with only shank's pony to get there .

    Thanks.
    Last time i was up there in my 4x4 (only 7 feet tall and usually hauls rubbish out, not in) was early July last year. Didnt see anything other that Thar on them thar hills. Have seen deer on the hills behind Urquharts but that was 5 years ago and was what made me go out and get a hunting rifle.
    As mentioned by Southstag, it is easily accessible.
