    Yeah me and a mate have the maukuratawhai block . Had a fair bit of doc work going on in there the last few months so not sure if it’s still worth a look .

    I was in there a couple of weeks ago. Helicopters buzzing around all over the place doing wilding control. Deer were lying low but saw a few chamois. Lovely area to explore.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    I was looking into where we went last roar from the other side of the river last Friday evening, still deer about then.

    Shit yeah looks pretty cool . Thanks for the info guys I’d say we will definitely give it a crack . Was just making sure it was worth spending the money and time heading in there after the wilding pine work . Cheers

    You were one of the lucky ones to draw a block. The deer will still be there, just lying low. You may have to put a bit of effort in to score but that’s hunting, it’s not a given that you’re going to score for frig all effort considering the block you’ve drawn. Go in for the designated period, if you score an animal good on you, if not you’ve had the privilege of spending time in some fantastic country that not a lot of people get to see. Either way enjoy the experience. If you don’t go all you’ve done is deprive someone else of the opportunity to experience some fantastic country. I’ve had the privilege to spend time there annually for 30+ years and loved every minute of it.
    Bye the bye, Rangiora is fuck all distance to travel compared to the distance others will travel for this opportunity. -Rant over-

    Most of the animals are up high in the heads of the creek where theres a bit of water and some lush growth. Find that and you'll find the deer.(Except this one, he's long gone) Few pigs down low as well
    Bugger all water till you get up high so better carry some
