Just got out from the South Mathias, thought id post an update and some solid intel for future hunters...
Plenty of animals seen but no big donks - seemed to only be 2 or 3 young stags in the valley holding hinds. Some well used wallows on the tops. Good, but small camping options on the valley floor past the halfway mark and some epic camping on the terrace on the true right at the top of the valley. Bush was shite to move in - bush hunting isn't really an option. No one else seen in the South Mathias and no chopper activity all weekend.
Took a couple of hinds for meat and left the young stags, hope others do the same. Was tempted shoot a young stag for a "wank photo" just to wind up old @Husky1600#2 - appreciate the intel, but no need to be so grumpy mate.
