    Mt Benger

    Off to Roxburgh tomorrow, anyone know what the road up Mt Benger is like?

    Is it achievable in a bog standard Ranger?

    Not sure how long we will be there but would like to give it a crack if time allows.
    Happy Jack.

    Been there about two years ago, long drive and steep in places ( Low-1st in the Brumby!).
    Low animal numbers, we (Mrs Finnwolf & I) bumped into another hunter who also had no luck.

    Yup, lots of gates. All good on the way up, missed a turn on the way down once and ended up a bit off piste in a farm paddock. Small area, but a couple of options to hunt. Easy enough in a dmax with crap AT tyres. Once you get into the block and the track flattens out it can get a bit muddy, depending on the traffic. If you almost drive through the block, you can follow a track to the left down the valley to the bush part of the block. Seen the odd deer there and knocked one over as well. Good luck!
