Thread: Piano flat hunting

Looking at ape ya weekend up piano flat was thinking up around titan rocks. Haven’t hunted up there before was wondering if anyone had any first hand experience hunting there they wanted to share
Cheers

No first hand experience but make sure you know where the doc boundaries are. There are a couple of deer farms up there that dont like folks poaching.

Last time i was up titan rocks would have been 10years ago tramping middle of winter and walked into a bedding down area with steam rising off the ground from a few spots just vacated by the deer

dunno about piano flat hunting
put if you throw a piano down a mineshaft you get A-flat minor

I think it's been 1080d recently, I've been there once. The bush was just open beech, sign here and there and spooked one after a big day. I didn't go back because it wasn't my cup of tea. Gets a fair bit of pressure I think.

This, i am pretty sure it got bombed by Doc in the last 6 weeks or so.
still, no harm going for a walk thou.

Isn't it a restricted block these days? So a phone call to Southland office.

Above the bush line is private land and the owners are pretty hot on catching poachers. Know the boundaries! As others have said has had a few doses of green rain recently. Still a lovely place to stretch the legs. Still deer kicking about if you know where to look.

I wouldn't bother, everyone just hunts there anyway. I've never got why they restrict blocks, unless you have to cross private land.

Yep can confirm its been poisoned , pretty sure they used deer repellent , piano flat is only restricted during the roar .
