Hey Rees,
I missed out on the ballot this year as well. However I have hunted in a few of the wanaka roar blocks in the past.
Similar chat to the others - my experience has been far more chamois than deer but I imagine the further you go, the better they get.
Cameron Creek, blue, fish, wilkin, timaru have all been pretty slim on the deer in my experience but others may have different views. Awesome places to go for a walk nonetheless.
Cheers.
