Thread: Pureora North Block Ranginui road

Anyone know what the condition of the access track off Ranganui road is like lately?

any goats around this part of pureoras ?
ive only hunted south part around piropiro before

Never seen goats in the South part of North block for years, maybe some in the Ngaroma end, Think it's the South side of HW30 getting poisoned.

cheers @tetawa

There is a 4x4 bike track over at Okaukura rd in off Waitaramoa Rd which comes into the North block off HW30. it does a 7 km circuit, haven't been around it for a couple of years but can find out if it's still ok.

@tetawa just drop us a pm when you find out cheers 😎

@7mmwsm I looked on the doc pesticide summaries and it only shows pindone in bait stations on west of Ranginui road, 1080 has been applied in Pouakani reserve and the small block East of Ranginui road, prob the signs you seen?

Havn't been up Fletcher's road for 8 yrs or so and looking at taking a mate up to show him the area to see what it's like now days. track looks well used in the recent google earth pics.

stuck my first pig on there MANY MANY years ago...must be close to 40.....it fitted in our campoven,needed to be folded in half to fit,but fit it did.

Will do

Ruahine south plenty of deer , better option to hunt

Did a big control burn there last year

Lots of deer were seen in Waipapa South block during the bait station fill. Good numbers of deer around Rangitoto Range area. Gets a lot of hunter traffic in the Tunawaea catchment, but more deer around than most would think. As for the sign on the ground, northern Pureora in general has barely any understory growth, it's been eaten bare. Look for areas with good feed.

Where was the controlled burn?

@7mmwsm cheers for the pics.

Looks like the smaller block to the left (Tiroa I’d say) is a scrappy, scrubby scruffy block( hearsay there’s fallow in there. The 1080 will knock em around. Bastards). The block to the right(Mangakino )looks like what was the back of Ranginui Station on the Hwy 30 side. Best guesses here.
