Thread: northern waikato hunting

Hi there just wondering if anyone knows of any public deer hunting locations in the northern waikato other than the kaimais and pirongia?

want somewhere near bye that i can just go for day or evening hunts without going off private land prefer to hunt public land with public access

Take a left out your driveway, go up the road about 5km, stop, get your phone out, jump on the forum and post an introduction and get involved in some threads.

Check the DOC website. It will tell you.

Yep agree wih Ryan. Probably no one will tell you a good public land deer spot on an open internet forum. Doc office staff are only in a position to give general advice to the public.

As far as i can tell the kaimais are the best area in northern waikato for deer. Undoubtedly there will be good places on or through private land too.

My advice is to visit a different road end in the kaimais each month for a year and include some of the smaller open permit areas in the "north waikato" from the doc maps (in consultation with doc te rapa office about access) . After that you will be the expert and can answer such queries on the forum.
