Thread: Tips for Haast Roar hunting 2022

Hi All,

We have Hindley Creek for the first week coming up, and I've never hunted bush before, much less the thick stuff down there, so would love any tips anyone has for hopefully getting onto something.
Should we be sticking to the bush and looking to call stuff in? Mostly still hunting? Is it worth going up above the bush line?
Any specific tips for Hindley would be great too.

Cheers in advance

One of the better blocks has stoats tracks through it trapping lines,plenty of deer do lots of roaring and listening if there on you will do all right

Awesome thanks NRT. Is there a way to locate/find the trapping lines from the outside of the block? Or just have to stumble across them in the bush? Do they start out on the road?

There is several one goes from the tuning fork creek at the arawata at the toe of the hill to the waitoto there marked and have wooded box kill traps every 250 metres the Hindley is in the kiwi sanctuary the bush ain't to bad swampy in the middle there is lines up in the tussock on the Haast Range .The bush and leading ridges will be the go if there vocal you will have a blast awesome block

Sandfly repellent

Take a decent fly/tarp to set up a dry area to eat/relax under.
