    Classic just stumbled across this thread @StagRyan
    I was the one who shot the hind and the yearling that day I remember you coming in late to the hut and leaving early
    You been hunting much up that area? Never found the duck pond in the end. That hind was the first red deer I shot and had nothing to compare it to at the time but that was the biggest fuckin deer I've shot to this day I reckon it was half wapiti haha

    If they are on your phone you're on Tapatalk then you should be able to upload them as an attachment or straight from your gallery.

    Or there is a thread about it on the ask questions part of the forum.

    For dry wood to get the fire started look for dead standing, which is your best option up there.
    Especially after an easterly storm.

    Nice to see the info flowing guys.

    The clearings at the top have always had rubbish on them. Even after the hut was vandalised, which doc had removed as being close to the road. Don't think it's all hunters though.

    Was there a hut near wairere falls at one stage?

    Saw a wallow at one of those clearings very closs to the track. Amazing how close they live to people and most never see them.

    Year back in the 80s.
    The deer up there are used to the human traffic. Followed my brother up one day(had a knee injury, he reckoned I was just out of shape) must have been about five minutes behind him.
    Found deer tracks in his boot prints deeer had come out walked up the track and back into the bush right at the top just as you come down that little side ridge before hitting the river.
