Thread: Owhonga

Just had three days off the 42 traverse down by the wanganui river
Not a lot of sign around after the green rain so jumped the river to the turangi side found a lot of old sign but still bugger all animals
But did manage sum nice trout to 5lb

Anyone else hunt this area would be keen to hear how u got on after the rain
Or a bit of advice would be much appreciated

I think you mean Owhango mate.

Yep that's what I ment

It is an area where you need to find the clearings and watch them early and late in the day. Can be fairly productive

Gave that a good shot hunted the faces down by the pony club found wat I call a punga gun turit and camped out there for probably 4 odd hours all I soor was wood pigeons

Its easy to blame 1080.
I'm pretty sure that a large area got repellent.

Anyway, still plenty of deer. I will PM you after the Christmas hols with a couple of spots in Tong forrest where you should have some luck.

I was in that area 3 weeks ago for a morning hunt, lots of sign and picked up a young stag in the middle of the track and spooked another.

Do you go as far as the wanganui river onyva im starting to think I need to higher up the hill was going to try by the first river crossing found a old skid track on my way out

Cool very much appreciated tahr

I enter Kapoors rd end and hunt towards Taurewa
