Try Northern Houto - Pigs are demolishing the place, trails and trails of smash up Kauri Snails, farmer on the boundary is in love with pigs and lets them eat his lambs and wont let anyone near the place to control numbers - Iv shot plenty on the ridge lines midday sunning and dust bathing. The strong hold is up in the top of the Nikau basin and saw a large batch of fresh bacon seeds on the right hand side in the puriris (I’m sick of these little fuckers)
Kiwi numbers are on the rise, Iv pulled at least 30 stoats off the main ridge loop track, 4-5 hour loop with some of the best views in the area from the trig, well marked and maintained
EDIT: no big pigs tho, gets dogged pretty hard
