Not enough to get excited about aye but there's still plenty of country in there that I didn't get to.

What time were you there mate? You would've seen me if we crossed paths, I was in blaze, came back through around 6. I stalked my way south towards te tuhi.

Out by 5.30, Just up there for exercise, Haven't hunted up there yet, Have walked through from Te Tuhi on North/South track one other time. One day I may take rifle though.

Good stuff mate. Going up to the lookout regularly will get you very fit!!

If you stay towards the edge instead of venturing into the flats you'l have more luck. The deer seem to love that steep crap.

Thanks for the tip mate, I'll remember that for next time

ever tried around the Mangamuka hut area ? Halfway tween the Te tuhi track and the Doc access track on Barton road. The actual hut is far away enough from any tracks that you will need some reasonable nav skils to get to it.
