Thanks for the replies so far guys. Bloody good of you.
Is a wander down to the confluence a feasible option for a day hunt? Or better to camp out?

Was a hut in the lower Blue Duck, don't know if it's still in operation. Only a short walk to Blue Duck if you cut across the terraces.

It's a pretty easy walk takes about 45 odd minutes allowing for a a little searching for the track markers, and generally you're right Into them once into blue duck. I've hunted the flats in first and last light walking from the hut. Would only bother camping at blue duck if u really wanted to hunt further down valley, which if you did you'd be walking past a lot of deer.

Deer everywhere in there, average day bush stalking I'd expect to see at least 5 deer. We've always had better luck in the Bush than out in the open although only hunted it in may so often still in roar mode.

This time of year I'd be thinking scrub edge/bush margins early mornings/evenings then climbing and sidling during the day.

The 2 creeks directly across valley from the hut are a bit scrubby/shitty but other than that it's pretty good bush most places, and fairly easy travel.
