Thread: North Island DOC land

Hi guys, I'm new to NZHS. I've been waterfowl hunting for a few years now but really want to hunt for my first deer (any type).
I have looked at the all the DOC land listed for Northland and Central North Island. I'm quite over whelmed with all the different options.

Could someone please point me in the right direction in regards to some of these hunting blocks? I'm not looking for specific areas in the blocks but
rather the names of the blocks that are worth the trip. I am located in West Auckland but am more than happy to drive 3-4+hours to give it a crack.

I've committed and bought a Tikka T3x chambered in 7mm-08 . Also keen to shoot goats/pigs too.

Cheers guys
