Thread: Queenstown hunting?

well, when i lived in queenstown, the go for goats was drive to Moke lake,park up right before the stream on your left just past the lake,then head into the hills in the Glenorchy direction.Used to see a heap within ten mins walk. Follow the river up and around the falls and there would be deersies at times.

And hope like hell John Foster doesn't catch you?

Or god forbid his wife.

Fear the wife!

Hate to tell you this Oneipete but these days Moke Lake is camper-central, full time DOC warden, $13 per night for a 3 x 3 plot of land and access to a long-drop. Sprinting across the open ground to make it to the creek before you get spotted has become significantly more difficult.

Just had a looksie on google maps.. blinkin hang, theres a heap of buildings there now. Mind you,thinking back it would be 15 yrs since i left.Wow time flies !

Never needed to run n hide back then , park at the lake and slowly head in.Had permission of the guy who owned the area but cant for the life of me remember his name.
