Forum Hunt - ideas?

[leathel]

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
