    I've been in there a couple of times in the last few months (Te Tapui B). Getting a permit was easy enough just by calling the DOC Tron office. It's a tricky place to hunt, very noisy underfoot and the fact you can't stay in there overnight makes it difficult to get back into the hot spots when you really need to be there. Spooked a few animals and found a few good pockets of sign higher up but by no means did we really have a good look around. Spent most of the time just trying to go very slow and quiet which can be a frustrating exercise there. I'd say perseverance is the key for this spot, a few trips and you're likely to get to know where they hang out, being Fallow they don't change habits too much. Once you can figure out how to get into these spots quietly and are prepared to wait it out I think your chances are much higher.

    Which is worse, ignorance or apathy...I don't know and don't care.
