Thread: Deer numbers

Plenty around in the Kaimanawa and Kaweka DOC areas too and fat. Only downside this time of year is a fawn will die if mum gets a bullet. Not that it would worry DOC at all.

Which parts? I usually put up a deer a trip in the kawekas but never see them. Just hear them running away.

I seldom hunt Clements; don't know the area very well, but there's plenty of sika living in the monowai and small tee tree grasslands all over the southern Kaimanawas and Kaweks. They don't generally stick their noses out until last light though.
