Forum Hunt - ideas?

[BRADS]

My bad found it Waipakihi Road.
Looks like a nice spot sakokid

like i said good camp site, if not taken. nice river if not flooded, plenty of places to sniff around for a jap, or cross jap. and on the way home call into tokaanu hot poles for a soak!! clothing optional

Any fallow or reds around as well, also is there mobs of goats we can bomb up?

No fallow, but there are a few reds floating around the area aswell.

Thats cool then

Yeap its a good area, i have spent a little time in there over the years. Also no goats around there, the nearest would be down around national park.

Guys I would be super keen for a hunt down there, there is always the option to stay at the Owango Hotel, we do a trail bike trip down there every year, think it costs us $50 a night including 3 meals and they brought lunch and fuel to us in the bush! There are goats about 5kms from the hotel on the owners farm, he told me in june that I could shoot the lot, and then obviously right on the 42nd traverse for deer and pigs.
Would be a bit of a drive across to Waipakihi Road but assume you could go 42nd traverse?
Campsite sounds great too, just throwing some options out there!

OK guys this is starting to look like a go and I for one would love to see young Toby there. I know that Dougie is keen as well so why don't we organize this to coincide with a long weekend (e.g. Auckland Anniversary or Waitangi). Not sure what the dates are but will post them up later so we can get a consensus of opinion on when to do this.

Toby can you tell us what your thoughts are because I would like to meet you young man and I could think of no better place than over a camp fire doing the thing we enjoy (hunting).

Could be a starter, will have to see what funds and work is like nearer the time.

Im a keen bean, but im not making promises just yet. I still wanna see about my pesky leg and that the op gos good and crap. also I will have to find a way up there but other then that im ready.

[Rushy]

OK guys I have checked out the dates for the two long weekends. Auckland Anniversary is Monday 30th January 2013 (which is also Nelson Anniversary VC) and Waitangi is the following Monday 6th February.

Let me know which suits best. If you google Waipakihi Road and trace it right to the end I think you will see that we could easily set up a tent city if needed and there is a lot of bush on the other side of the river.

Sounds like a nice area

Toby assuming that you could make this, where would you need to be picked up from?
