Thread: South Island Holiday hunt

Hi all, a friend and i are hoping to plan a low cost South Island hunting trip for a week, no Hellicopters, of course not been from the south i dont know what the lands are like, We plan to hunt public land and was hoping someone who is familiar with the south island would be kind enough to tell me what area or public block would be the best for a low budget trip and most likely to run into Tahr and Chamois, private message me if you dont feel comfortable posting a reply, im not asking for spots, just a recommended block thats easily accessible by a novice to the area. Cheers

What time of the year are you planning on going?

That’s a good time of year to be chasing them. No helicopters, do you have reasonable 4wds instead that could handle a few hours travelling up river beds?

In that case heading up some of the big Canterbury rivers could be a good option. Where ever you go be prepared to climb pretty high and into some steep nasty country, you should be pretty safe but there’s always a chance of an early snow so be prepared for that to
