    I have never been broken into at the Rangiwhahia car park, and can't remember ever having seen broken glass. Been there hundreds of times (hoping to shoot a deer up there one day ) But I guess there are exceptions.

    Kashmir Rd seems ok too.

    I've had more trouble at the Sth East spots.

    Thanks guys

    Not worried where just wanna do something different than hunting farms and iv never shot a red deer and with a baby due in 7 weeks!! thought id better get out sooner rather than later. But i had heard some car parks are bad news but noone would tell me what ones.
    Would be keen to tag along if anyone was heading up in the future.

    go up coppermine creek, it's a bit rough but plenty of little clearings and there should be plenty of silly spikers out and about at the moment. Bit of a drive from your place though you could stop in and see Trav on your way home.
