Thread: Te Kauri scenic reserve

off for a bush walk through Te Kauri reserve tomorrow, low numbers from what everyone has said but will be good to have a look see and get outta auckland.
willl be happy with a goat or two...

I use to hunt there a lot in the late 80's early 90's. Our best effort was 20 for the day. It can be a tricky place to get around but once you have worked out where the bluffs are and what ridges connect to them it can be bloody good hunting.

not a bad walk for a little DOC area, saw 6 + goats but the little buggers were just across the boundary on the farmers privte land next door...... wouldnt have been more than 50mtrs. We saw a fair bit of sign throughout the doc area but no animals until we were heading out along the top 'seep track' and saw 2 - 3 just as we were NOT ready as we were on the way back to the truck, no bolt or ammo in... managed to get a shot away but no good as too rushed. Anyway good to get out and about in the bush.

Flick me a pm and I'll try and remember the spots we use to find them.
