Thread: Wapiti Ballot - Success?

We missed out. But only chose the good blocks for 1st and 2nd periods so much lower chance of getting a block.

Ballots for the bugle period have now been drawn so you have to wait to next year. You get notified around now of the results, that gives you a few months to arrange time off and plan. Every block is different, they're all accessed differently and that obviously makes the associated costs different. I've had trips into Fiordland that have cost less than $400, and some as much as $2000. Its a unique opportunity t get a block during the bugle, so generally I'd suggest going in for the entire time you've got the block for. We've had to pull pin twice, once because a mate got very ill, and another time we only went in for a couple of days because the weather was so bad we were completely wasting our time.

Simon Gibson wrote a good book on the blocks. And google is your friend for info on forums or videos on YouTube etc.
