Thread: Recent evening trip into tararua.

So I'm still new at this. Been out for about 4 solo hunts in the northern Tararuas following a lot of advice I've got off this site so thanks for that guys.
As I've mentioned befor I'm at home by myself most of the time with my young boys so when I got a night off at 6:30pm I charged off into the hills. I was hunting around the 2nd dam and was charging down the track to meet up with a stream I wanted to check out when after 5 mins from the car I heard and then saw the large arss of a deer that had seen me first turn around and move off up the hill. I'd didn't seem to be in to much of a rust so I gave it a few mins and headed down the track a few hundred mtrs then headed up the hill to see if I could catch site of it again. Nope didn't, and I don't know if I was wasting my time?
Any way at least now I'm seeing them and getting some good practice in following tracks, next day off will be in about 15 days so if anything eventful happens I'll let you all know.
