Mob of 4 where we shot the doe, the rest of the deer were seen in the pines. Here's a map of the block if you haven't got one yet. Feel free to ask for more info if needed.

Cheers mate i'll be sure to get that high point, being early in the ballot season i'm hoping to get a buck so i'll take my time getting around and glassing. At the very least i'll be seeing how close i can sneak up to one of those does for a good photo!

@Allgood, seems a bit rich to say something like "thank you for your service", but thank you all the same.

Thanks. I will still be around to help the current committee and at this stage will remain on the Council.

For those who want info on their blocks I will also help with that. When you get your maps etc send me a PM/post up and I will do my best to point out some likely spots based on past years.......

My partner and I where up in Aucks last year and having a wee bit of time on our hands we went for a drive through parts of the forest. Very popular place with motor bikes blasting round, mountain bikers ,4 wheel drivers and others.
Saw a nice buck which just stood there until we reversed back for a photo. Then towards the coast a doe ran across the road followed by its yearling.
Investigated another area and footprints everywhere up and down the banks.
Neat place.

Unsure what period I am in but any tips for block 6?

My mate got drawn and has paid for the block should he have received some reply by now?

@muka88 He should definitely chase it up by now.

@mukka88 i'm in the same boat, let me know how you get on.

Anyone hunted on block 8 recently? Any tips or advise would be appreciated.
