Thread: Wanaka roar ballot

How did every one do?

i got the Breast Creek block 39 on the 3rd period should be good!

Dipped out

Missed out on Wanaka

Managed to get nightfall creek in Haast for first period so have a block

Might put a trip down south together, big walk with a lot of elevation in the eyre mountains or Takis next door, will bed to ramp the fitness for that though!

Best of luck for those who got blocks

Cheers

Dino

No luck here either. Good luck to those heading in!

Missed out on this too. Having a bad run at ballots this year.

Hi All

I managed to secure a block in 1st period Upper Young, first time securing a block in Wanaka so happy but apprehensive, any tips or what's the normal practice on access walk in or Chopper

Good block. You can walk or fly.
Harvey Hutton is just up the road at Makarora.

Cheers Mate, got any thoughts on base camp at the Hutt? and fly camps out from there, it generally looks like it has some good cover up the river. Have you shot that block before

I have not hunted it on foot but have seen a couple good stags in there before. Good genetics thru that whole area.
Not many deer, but better than average chance of a good one. Chamois are in reasonable numbers as well.

yeah, nah - missed. BUGA !

upper young is a good block i would get flown as its a bit of a walk and there has been quite a few slips up there one forming a dam and is holding the water up there. plus you would also be walking through someone elses block to get there

Managed to Salvage the Blue block, 19 for the third period, at the second chance draw yesterday, cheers whoever gave up their block. Hopefully means some noise with the likelihood of a late roar due to slow spring flush and summer drought. Anyone been in here before, looks a good spot.

Missed out in the draw but picked up Mid Matukituki 4th period as a leftover; should be alright for a quick wander

My mate just got the ballot for the lower young block and he invited me down, stoked. Anyone familiar with it? Never hunted S.I, heading in for 6 days or so.
