    western ruahines

    hey all due to the recent weather events most places in hawkes bay are cut off and there is very little places you can go hunt (correct me if im wrong as I havent checked for a week or so) so I was wondering how the western ruahines held up and if the areas are open what are some decent spots.
    Sadly I wasnt able to go hunting during January due to my rifle being cerakoted and some other reasons so im chomping at the bit to get out there and go bush.

    cheers

    Walk in to the Kaimanawas on the southern access corridor

    Thousands of square km in there to hunt

    Learn the map and the doc land boundaries

    I'm going to check out north western side tomorrow. For the area DOC site says its open but high chance of Hut/Track damage and be prepared to turn back. Cockie said roads open, can only look and give it a go..

    I went for a quick look around mid western last week. Track was open, but there were some gnarly slips around. I could get around them, but they weren’t exactly what I’d call stable. Bit overhangs, so I expect more will come down when we get a decent rain.

    I’m picking that DOC will have the place closed for quite some time.
