Thread: Nelson Lakes fly in hunting blocks

Myself and a group of top blokes did a fly in last year, Rob from Murchison coppers was fantastic, got us in with clear fine weather , out he had another smaller chopper fly up the valley to let him know when it was possible to get us out.

Ask @ROKTOY and @kukuwai about inreachs , spare power banks etc. they probably saved our arses.

We were dropped up high and other members of the party hunted other parts of the block, we took radios and this would have helped to get the guys below us onto animals in gullies basins across or above them ( if they were in those faces ) or as it turned out them seeing animals heading for us.

We certainly saw a number of animals but our block was not over run with them. The block had a party in before us, so this may have had an effect on our results…

Would I go again? Hell yes ! in a heart beat!

Not this year as life has other plans.

That said I hope they continue with this program, and others get enjoy what we did.
