Thanks everybody, it's good to get clarification and I appreciate the responses. Even though I have an exclusive permit and balloted roar block (sorry to be "that guy" who added competition to the Wanaka blocks) I'll be very mindful of non-hunters. Public land in the States is similar, you never know who you'll run across and no deer is worth living with a fatal mistake.
I'm abusing that search button and have a copy of Lentle & Saxton's Red Deer being shipped. Really looking forward to this trip even if it's just for the scenery.
