Thread: Waikato Public land advice

Morning all.
Not chasing anyones honey holes or anything just after a bit of advice, experienced firearms holder been shooting ducks my whole life, done a fair bit of farm hunting for deer as well as the odd one on some public land.
Looking to broaden my knowledge/skills a bit with a few over nighters/ weekend trips and wondering about some good areas to start. Based in huntly so most areas apart from the kaimais are all round the 3 hour mark away. Been looking into places like the pureoras, have done trips down there previously but i know its due to get 1080d shortly, whirinaki, kaimanawas as well as the Erua area of the national park as i have some accommodation close by. Any recommendations on good starting points or just general areas. Feel free to message me privately if youd prefer, Any help would be greatly appreciated

Happy Hunting
