Still waiting on a email.anyone else had anything
Still haven’t heard anything. Dunno why I care the Wanaka blocks are a deer less joke anyway. Even if I draw one il probably just go to Fiordland instead. Too many bad experiences around Wanaka. And the two helicopter operators are ridiculously priced as well.
nothing my end.
Yeah deer less joke, spread the wordQuote:

We usually just go Chamois hunting in the Wanaka blocks.
Makarora and the ones on the west side of Hawea are a waste of time.
Blue, Young, Siberia etc the same.
There’s the odd deer about in them but they are few and far between.
We got an email this morning saying results will be out on Wed, due high application numbers.
@Tribrit I’d agree with that but the genetics are there that in some of the other blocks you have the chance of getting a really good trophy, and the country is fantastic to wander around in.
Just received an approved application email but not sure if it's a good thing after reading the posts haha
Check you're emails. Results are out.
I ended up with craigie burn haven't heard much about before
Got tiel 4th period anyone hunted it before?
Got the blue period 3 prety keen to check the area out deer or not haha
Anyone have any chat on the area, even about chamios numbers.
They must have seen me spouting off lol.
I drew a zero. Missed out on Haast as well.
Good luck fellas.
It says on the website that some blocks are effected by "predator control" surley they won't drop 1080 over the roar?
No joy email for me too.
Will try again next year for a block in the deer less wonderland [emoji3]

We hunted in there a maybe 10 years ago though were pretty green at the time. Flew in which was cheap due to the short flight. The foot access is significantly worse than it looks, there's a bit of a track on the true left if you're really keen.Quote:

I haven't put in for it again.
I got Kitchener first period, wasn't my first choice.
We'll definitely go in for a look and have a bit of a plan of attack but if anyone has any info on the block, I'd appreciate it.
I think some of the Makarora blocks are going to be delt to with 1080 over the roar period from what we are being told ,we are waiting on confirmation.Quote:

I just went on the Haast Roar block late allocation which opened at 9am. Was logged in at 9am sharp and by 9.09 all blocks were taken lol.
I wonder how many of those people snapped one up and then went “ok where is it and how do I get there”
