Thread: Stewart Island, Hunting the Interior

As others have indicated, the vegetation variety close to the coast is a big draw card for deer. Plus, seaweed features on many deer's diet. Quite a bit of Stewart Island is in a so called 'open hunting' zone. Called that cause the coast is all bluffs!!! Clearings few and far between., so that makes it extremely difficult to access the "open hunting' zones. Doesn't mean they (deer) are not there, but it is a bit more tiger country than the coast. Plus a big drawcard of going hunting on Stewart Island is the fishing. Can't do that if you are camped deep in the hobbit forest.
