Heaps of good hunting close to rotorua. In terms of variety it's one of the best spots in the country. Got like 5 varieties of deer within an hours drive.
Not a huge amount of open tops stuff until you hit the Kawekas kiamanwas. Some very productive slip hunting through the urewera and towards the Cape though.
Speaking of rotorua hunting, anyone know what Tarwera is like? Have recently acquired aquatic transport and was thinking or going for a mission over those ways. Boat safe ish to park up somwhere and go for a wander?
@Gapped axe is the man in the know down there. Send him a PM.
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!

I hunted a block in the mamakus post roar 3 years ago. Supposedly fallow and reds in the area. Found a big scrape and let out some roars but nothing. Only had a short window so didn't get that far in but I think with some time you would find animals.
Welcome to the North mate.
As a former South Otago resident, I can assure you the hunting opportunities up here are plentiful!
