Thread: Rimutaka Forrest Park

This must be a troll.

It's DoC you need to talk to for permits. Do a search for rimutaka on this and other forums.

+1 on the need for spidermonkey cum bulldozer scrub bashing capability.

Hunting Permits Online

Tx scoped, much appreciated. yup, the area you mention isn't exactly flat

have had a couple of early morning waiting sessions for the ranger

The pamphlets at GWRC are for akatarawa, pakuratahi and hutt water collection, nothing on orongorongo. They did have a map related to the blocks for the roar ballot, will go back and have another look at that.

]Dougie we are so lucky you don't live near the Kaimais you'd have them devoid of all deer in a short period of time so you just stay there please. In fact I reckon you need a special unobtainable VISA to hunt past Taupo ...he he..

Tx Bagheera, yup missed the most obvious place

That maps shows the Landcare area (no hunting), and includes the Turere catchment, so looks like hunting is permitted there, just no dogs.

Wish there was a hunting area boundary layer on the koordinates.com WAMS.org.nz sites, or maybe I am just to challenged to get it to work

This should clear things up

http://www.doc.govt.nz/documents/par...wellington.pdf

then scroll to page 3

Hunting or discharge of firearms is not permitted in the Catchpool Valley, Landcare Research block, the Orongorongo Valley within 200 m of the edge of the river-bed and within 200 m of the Orongorongo Track (refer to the map for the ‘no hunting area’)

depending on how you interpret it, can still 'walk' throug the area with an unloaded firearm
