Thread: Worth hunting in western ruahines?

Hi, im still learning, and have done a little hunting in northern santoft with no luck. Am looking at the ruahines as they're close by. I have tramped to purity hut in the past. And am wanting to carry on further to kelly knight hut. Am I even in deer country? Has anyone else been hunting anywhere close to this area?
Thanks in advance.

There are deer in the western Ruahines mate.stop lots look lots.they are there bud

bloody shit phone

Once you hop the fence into the bush at the top of the hill on your way to Purity you are in prime hunting country.
Turn left and cross the creek 500 yards or so up the Rangawahia track and its like wise.

Its all great hunting.

Don't shoot the deer in the Rangi carpark though!

I must have been looking on the wrong spot on Sunday

Hi there ring the farmer & he should let you throu then you can walk up the doc track that runs beside the river to Kelly knight I think it bot a 2-2.5 hr walk to Kelly knight hut going that way I knw some1 that was in there a few weeks back & on 1 morning hunt they counted over 20 deer & shoot 3 so get in there & have a go
