Yes @Pengy, I do know people in the area and have just done a five week working stint on a farm bordering the reserve...deer numbers are usually reported as low to keep others out, a bit like the "no deer in the Kaimai's" we so often hear...poachers hammered the block several years ago and any area that has had the numbers greatly reduced take many years to build up numbers again as the deer avoid those areas.
I believe the best way to gather information on the block is to get dropped off at any of the entry points...no car in the carpark and leave your rifle at home...and roam the reserve day and night till you find the elusive little sods...the biggest problem today (IMO) is that every newbie wants to sleep in their own bed at night and not do the hard yards...I am happy to give more detailed information to anyone who wants it...the quality of the information will be in direct proportion to the quality and quantity of the beers supplied.
