Forum Hunt - ideas?

[leathel]

shit 6 pages already and no real plans....I would hate to see how many pages it runs to actually get something concrete sorted ...that's not poaching

Poor Dougie wants to get out for a forum hunt but it will be mid next year by the time a plan is hatched and then when it is you will have to find it amongst the 199 pages of BS

I don't entirely agree with you Leathel. Dougie posted this thread three days ago and already we have a date (Waitangi weekend 4 - 6 Feb 2013) a potential venue (Waipakihi Road end) and as a result of your advice regarding private land, we (I) have made a formal request to the land owner seeking permission to camp. In my view that is quite advanced for three days.

Pending a reply to my email there is then a pre hunt recce to be done and the logistics of food, transport etc to be arranged but as I see it we have plenty of time to get that done. Block out your diary and plan on joining us.

Yeah I know its getting there but....6 pages....

Some good hunting in that general area..never been on the southern side of the river but I took my boy hunting off the Urchin track (ended up tenting up near the top) a year or two ago and came across some good sign.... Got one not far from the lower camp too on an earlier trip. There are options a short drive away up the other roads if numbers get up as well and return to base camp for the night to talk shit
