Thread: Old buggers hunt

Was up there last week, road is all fixed up and the campground is primo... The hut is gone, thank God! Shouldn't take you to long to see a bit of sign.... The creek is overgrown due to the horses being rounded up last year but still an awesome place for a couple of days! What dates are you going? I'm hoping to be there next week for a night or two..

Which hut is gone? I'm guessing Mid Okahu?

That would be a shame even though it was scummy as hell as it was a good refuge when arriving late as.

Hi guys, yep , the hut has gone and the road in is ok, had a look up the end track but no sign, so hunted the river flats, a few cows still in there but looks good up the old logging tracks, will give it a go again maybe April . Had a look at the main / south rd , but 4x4 only I think, my poor ford focus was thinking it`s a land rover. pics of my glamping.
, Base camp.
, where the hut was.
, My hunting style.

Years ago I built a couple of campsites in there. One half way between Rogers and the Mangakahika saddle and one in the Bullring down towards Central. They had flushing loos and hot showers. Only the best for the walking tourists. Mid 80's

The last time I wondered through there about 3 years ago all the gear was still in place, including a hand driven concrete mixer, shovels and a wheel burrow

Heaps of animals around there, they are used to vehicle noise but are never far from a road or track. If you hobble somewhere off up a side then I would say you will bump something

At least you got out there !
Beats sitting at home

Think of all the shorty street bits I missed, , I have sussed it out for next time, I now know where they are, just have to find them! Cheers, Homebrew.357.

Like your style!

I haven't been down there since Te Uruwera went to the Puhoi. How was the permit process?

Getting permits from Tuhoe is easier than dealing with DOC.

I just re read my post. I know I typed Tuhoe so how the hell did Puhoi get there? What is the process Barefoot? I used to get the DoC permits through their website.

I figured you were just having wistful thoughts of windy days and far gongs.
There were 20 goats walking through there today

Got a permit a few months ago when I went with Mohawk660.
Permission for Hunting : Tuhoe
You will get an email soon after.

Hang on a minute mate, I was in the Whirinaki forest, just got a D O C permit on line, and the Urewera forest is run by the Tuhoe guys. So permits no problem.

Thanks for that. What area does Minginui and Okahu fall under? As to the goats I haven't seen them although Sam told me he had seen some there. I would be happy to end their days if I see them. Maybe a good test for the .270 that we need to take for a play.
