I haven't hunted Te Miro but have done quite a bit in one of the other blocks. I've got ballot days in mid March and early April.
The deer numbers seem to go up and down, some days there is bugger all sign, other days you see several. I think they move between the bush and the farmland depending on where they are getting hunting pressure and where the food is. With the dry conditions they may be in the bush now, but it is very very noisy moving around, the rewarewa leaves seem to be the worst at cruching underfoot.
