Gives you time to rest and reflect on the hunt so far.
That Hiranui block use get a lot of pressure but if you get on the tram line before daylight then start moving as soon as light enough to see it can be productive.Those grassy areas only the track draw deer when the spring growth starts properly.Best place for you rifle is in your hands .The bush lawyer in there is thicker than the supple jack .
Expect to see deer when you least expect to ,take breaks often & listen to the sounds of the bush .
Having said that a noise you want to listen for is of deer feeding ,when relaxed they sound like pigs eating at a trough ,how they hear anything else I don't know.I also think you can make a little noise with out spooking animals, just relax a little more & read the sign .If you can follow it.
Mate good luck ! :thumbsup:Quote:

Well I snuck away and tried a new spot this arvo. Got hold of a farmer and he has let me hunt up the back of his farm. Fairly easy walk up compared to where I have been, Had a look around but didn't go bush to much, Found some old sign and some old pig rooting. Found a spot to kip in for the rest of the day and walked out in the dark. Mint. Seen lot's of hares and pheasant's up there to.

What an awesome area:cool:
Good stuff bro. Did the farmer tell you where/if he's seen the deer hanging around? If he's not sure, you should have a nosy around for where the game trails lead back into the bush. Get out before sunrise and keep an eye for where they'll be coming out of the bush at these places. If you don't see anything it would be worth stalking the game trails back into the bush after the sun comes up.Quote:

Went looking in a new area, No luck just more sign, Found a wallow or two. Walked out in the dark. Another good trip done, And getting fitter and more bush experience slowly :cool:
