Napier hunting question
Hi All
Looks like i might be heading down to Napier as part of the cyclone recovery response.
Im Hamilton based so i dont know much about that area other than where i go at clements lol.
Anyway, i see Makahu Saddle road is closed so im geussing a lot of the access around napier to Public land is a bit difficult right now.
Seeing as i will likely only have sundays off work i wont really have time for big trips, and i dont have any contacts down there for private access.
So question, is it worth while taking my quadbike down? Will it be if any use to access public land within say couple hours of napier?
Any tips on where to go? Ive hunted up Makahu twice, once up Dons spur and once up the one that has Dominie hut on it and saw plenty deer both times but id imagine all that country is shut off for now?

There is currently bugger all places to hunt public land around the Hawkes Bay currently, you can't get out Taupo Rd, can't get out Taihape Rd, and cannot get out to the Makahu end of the Kawekas either, also much of the access to the northern Ruahines is cut off due to roads washed out and damaged bridges.
You can only get south, and there is the odd road access open to some parts of the Ruahines. Even if everything was open, you quad is of no use at all. However I'll send you a PM.

I think all of the eastern access is buggered now...
