We used to hunt both sides of the range many years ago
The Tamaki was easy access to plenty of side creeks - a bit of a climb and some good slips to glass - Laws Rd was also productive
When the new road went up Takapari Ridge - we changed our focus to Diggers and Centre Creek - there were plenty of deer in Diggers and the leatherleaf was so open you could walk through it
The new road produced plenty of easy deer - the fresh dirt after the dozer - was like a cattle yard
New road - up on the main ridge above Centre Creek - slightly north of the road junction

Isn’t it fun hunting in the snow - Takapari - nah - I reckon it’s a mugs game - should have stayed in bed - much warmer places to be

Up on the main ridge - a few years later on a nicer day

Went awesome bro weather was great, hunted with a fellow forum member @Sako851 who shot his first red stag an awesome result, I also shot a young stag we had an awesome trip! Will post some photos soon
@Tahr will do mate just arrived home sorting out the gear will write up a trip report cheers mate
Shot for the graffiti on the car haha classic. It was the best trip I have had so far. Good company and good hunting
Yeah it was, couldn’t believe my eyes when it poked its head out from behind some cover. A really surreal feeling ! Been dreaming about it for over a year now and it finally happened
Actually first deer at all, just happened to be a red stag!
@Sako851
Nice remember that feeling :thumbsup:
cool area for sure. lots long shots though.
I went further SW today 30//7/19 Before the storm hits. Got drenched but had a good looksie for 4hrs before heading back down to work.

3/9/19 Up via Holmes Ridge.A nice 4 hour wander to eat my venison sausages between milkings.No deer seen this time but did come across the skull of the yearling that I left in the bush after carting the whole carcuss out a few months earlier. Also met another two hunters on my travels.

5 hours in the bush today.Plan was to head up to the "Cats Paw" Started heading towards it when the weather turned so left the creek and headed up and into the bush on the left of the creek.Less wind and rain.Got onto some fresh sign and saw a deer but didn't get a shot as it disappeared into cover.I came onto the A Frame track so pushed on to the hut where I had my lunch. Time was 1235pm when I left the hut and headed down via the track.Got back to the ute in 1 hour 20 minutes.Shot home for a brew then headed back to work.

Well , im going to revive an old thread.
The brother in law and I went for a walk today out here. Was awsome , followed the riverbed up to a couple of good slips .
Did not see a deer but saw some sign and saw a fellow hunter , who was a GC and helped us out a little bit. ( If your reading this , thanks mate )
Definitely keen to go up here again and try another area !
Didnt take the 303 for a walk but took the brother in laws 308.
I'm addicted to the area,10 minutes from work and 25 minutes from home.
Pics from last week.
