Thread: Pureora North Block

Hi team,

Have been looking for a decent area, closer to home and accessible without a 4x4/ute - scouted access to Pureora Northblock from Tolley road last Sunday and found it was easily accessible by car so that was the plan for today.
We were up and 3am, got sorted and got there before sun rise - kitted up and walked across the DOC access over the farm and into the bush.
We hunted for the morning but ended up leaving really disappointed - there was very little deer sign, and what we did see appeared to be pretty old. We did see a fair amount of pig rooting.

Anyone else that hunts from there? have we maybe chosen the wrong saddles / gullies and water ways or is this area just not productive?

Can anyone recommend car accessible areas for Pureora's or Waikato side of the Kaimais that have reasonable populations to target? I don't mind a hike but don't have a vehicle capable of rough terrain.
