Hi guys
Haven’t been out on a hunt in a long time and the freezer is looking extremely sad.. I know this is a long shot but does anyone have any spots they could help me with in the national park area I have been up erua road and middle road but never had any luck would appreciate any help in the right direction. Thanks!
Ohboy!
Righto, I got the popcorn

Get the spot x book. The next couple of months are usually tuff most places.
Would you like a gps reference with that?.........
Could loan you my 4wd and the dog too.....

Wasn’t asking for any of that. GPS coordinates don’t mean there’s an animal standing there waiting mate ;) the days only as good as the day which I’m sure you know by the way you talk. thanks tetawa appreciate it I have one will definitely have a look was just hoping someone might have a tip or two on the areas not looking for secret spots but thanks for being a positive human !
You can try to give the local DOC office a call or visit and get some helpful informations.

what response do you think you are going to get? Why not introduce your self tell us where you from etc etc. Every week some body new comes on here and ask the same question.
Hey thanks for that might give them a yell tomorrow.
Sorry to upset the union mate. Shit if I wanted to have an argument I’d roll over and speak to my mrs.
got my first stag in Erua
also only stag. so far
Haha love the honesty! Yeh man my mate shot his first stag in middle road the one time I didn’t go with him, keep going man you will slay anotherQuote:

Far too diplomatic @ Tahr ;)Quote:

There is a metals road that goes right up towards the mountain, so primo access. Lots of little clearings and opening scattered thru the area, and there are both sika and reds about. Just be aware the army use the area regularly for training purposes (they put signs up) but never the less take extra care.
Alternatively the turoa mountain road gives acsess to some nice bush stalking, although it is mainly beech with heaps of crown fern underneath.
I have only been into Erua once and didn’t have any luck so can’t help you with that once sorry.
Hope that’s somewhat helpful.
Cheers,
Dawg

Im in Ohakune next weekend taking the kids to the snow. Might biff the rifle in the uterus and go for a sniff myself :)
HUGE animals in thereQuote:

Get that spot x book. It will give you a guide line as to what might be there. The useful info is huts access and time it takes to walk there aswell as restrictions such as dogs or ballots. Similar info as the doc website just a bit more specific.
I had a mate tell me a secret place he went with someone. But don’t tell anyone he says. I opened up that book and said there it is in the book for everyone to see. It has some better maps than the doc website.
shit, mine was an inbred red. the guy who let me stay on his property (which is boardered by erua forest on at least two, maybe three sides!!!) he laughed when I told him I could of carried it out, when he saw it he understood.Quote:

If you come to the South Island let me know.
You dont even state which NP....there is more than one you know;)
Why because they are asked to introduce them selves or they because they just want a spot handed out on a plate?Quote:

Technically correct but there is only one “National Park” and it has a township named ‘National Park’.Quote:
