Thread: Stags of 2013 roar, show em!

Well been talking to a pilot and he had a meeting with the maoris and they gave permission to fly kayaks in but they said no hunting on their land. The hokitika hunting permit also does NOT cover the Arahura all the way round to styx saddle! People have been going in for years!?

Yeah I think its been common for people not to realise, I certainly didn't until I got my fishing booklet.

Not butt loads of animals up there anyway, but probably good to have a wee breeding area where they can roam onto the public land I spose.

Was up the Typo (get it) last week and heard nothing, bloody hell its gotten rough up there since spring.

In my experience, having hunted it for 30 odd years I reckon it holds as many animals as any other major catchment in the area.
