Thread: Waipakihi Labour Weekend

Yep been in there a lot over the years, if you head up towards junction tops behind the hut there are a number of gullies and hollows where you get a lot of deer moving after the rain.
Always take a tent as turned up at the hut once not realising it was a long weekend and found 27 trampers there, hut can be a bit like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates "you never know what your going to get"
There was always good numbers of deer in there but the last time I was there there had been a search and destroy program going on as found quite a few carcasses and shotgun shells, was a while back so numbers may have come back.
good luck.
