Thread: West coast

Going to hunt my way south this year for the roar off the ferry on the 28th
Any surgestions on where to look good places to stop or even better ppl too meet on our journey
It's my first time on the coast going down with my uncle in a 4x4 so off road no issue
Thxs In advance guy

Pesticide summerys would be a good place to start

Used to see reds nearly every morning my Grandfather and I would do the freight run run from Westport to Reefton on the inside of the river bend at Hawks Crag, absolute magic!

Was just reading doc reefton hunting lol

I think the plan goes like
Hunt our way down towards queens town ( west coasting )jump the hill to get sum bluff oysters then hunt up otago cantanbury towards Dunedin
Will also be lookin for pubs or fellow hunters keen on a brew or three during our round trip

jump off the ferry on you're way past arapawa island and poke you're nose around there.....might be a idea to put the musket in a waterproof bag first though , ima thinking it wont like the salt

Nothing further south ?

No deer down here mate, just big rabbits haha

Looking at goin in to monowai

Pm me, we maybe crossing paths and I Have some mates in Murchison. Yes I have two mates

Yeah mate will do
Will give u a update of how I go seem I'm down there a bit earlier

There's no deer on the west coast, I'd just give it a miss if I was you. That goes for all you pricks who aren't joined on the forum and are just reading it too! No deer, waste of time, bugger off somewhere else

All creeks and river systems have animals on the coast.

Most sensible hunters who reside on the coast, will only direct you to the above.
When I started out hunting it was very rare to see a boot mark let alone an animal mark.
The last few years there have been more and more people around and I spose because of sites like this etc.
You help one person out and they can't help but blab to their mates and before you know it you need to line up for a ticket just to hunt what used to be a good spot.
If you know what you are doing it won't be hard to find an animal on the coast.
Good luck.
