Thread: Suggestions for Taking Two Friends Hunting in the Ureweras

Kia ora NZHS whānau,

I’m planning to take two of my mates hunting and want to introduce them to the Ureweras. We’re coming from Auckland, and this will be their first proper hunting trip. I’m looking for advice on spots where we can:

Park up easily, preferably somewhere secure.
Set up camp not too far from the hunting areas.
Get into some decent hunting terrain that’s beginner-friendly (not too steep or dense for them).
We’ll be focusing on red deer, but I’m open to other opportunities in the area as well.

If anyone knows someone I can contact for advice or guidance on the area, please let me know. Even better if there’s someone who might be willing to share some local knowledge or point me in the right direction.

Appreciate any wisdom you’re willing to share!

Cheers
