Thread: Queenstown area DOC

I did ask in my Introduction thread but everyone stick to the first post lol

So here my hunting questions
even if I didn't post a lot since I joined, I was active with all your GOUV support
the team of the Visitor Centre respond quick and clear!
those of the Firearm service where also awesome!
I now have my test done and firearm form fill

but where a still have question is more about the local details. (and more specific to hunting)
I now have my plane ticket, dates, area set

I'll go to south of Queenstown since there's huge and close DOC area.

I did remove the Remarkables - Wye Creek from my list.
Tell me if it's a mistake to presume that without forest covert red deer will not be likely present?

with in mind that anything touching to the fiordland will drastically increase the amount of rain I'll go trough... I stop my choice (but not limited) to the Eyre Mountain and the Snowdon and Mavora Park next to it.

After this area selected, my main goal was to not pissed of any local hunter, So I'll go end of March, just before rut, and won't be close by anyway of any Huts.
that lead me to target more the Snowdon forest and Mavora Park.
Is it a good option why or why not?

thanks
