I wouldn’t go too high at this time of the year. The wind can be an arse around Longview so pick your weather. Either hunt down the creek as Nathan says, or head along the ridge into the watershed going the other way as Brad says. Nth/East I guess it is. If you head up hill through the saddle towards the tussock there is no need to go right to the top. You can sidle along the leatherwood belt (in out, under it, or above it) after not too much of a climb. Turn Nth East (on your right) going up the main spur when you hit the scattered leatherwood and hunt the gully heads.

You will work it all out when you get there and see it. Take your time and use your binos a lot. You will see more deer looking down than you will looking up. You can access it all from the hut.
