Thread: Newbie 1080 question

Hi all, im planning my first deer hunt and was/am looking at the Pureora's. i see that they're getting bombed at the moment according to the DOC website. ive read enough to expect lower numbers etc.. but am really wondering if its still safe or worth it to go at all. im not looking for a trophy (but wouldn't leave it behind ) and im guessing there are a few different views on the matter. i would rather try Pureora as a first forray than the other closer option (Whanganui) just on the terrain being a bit easier going. your 2c much appreciated, cheers.
