As you say focus on the areas with plenty of sign and hunt slowly into the wind, especially in the feed areas move very slowly and look and listen, it is amazing how many animals I hear before I see them.

I have heard most animals I've seen and shot, smelt them in the rain. It's surprising how loud they can be when they're feeling safe.

It was your post that gave me the idea of the trip. So cheers.

Yeah it's easy to get caught up with the deer at all costs.

Especially in the kaimais.

There were FIFTEEN people in th done valley doing day walks. Granted I was on the top of the range but still. A lot of people so care needs to be taken.
