Some of them might even tell you if and where they saw some deer. Happened to me a couple times

Have a look on here. At bottom of doc features menu is 'open hunting areas' . Stay within there with correct permit and be safe. https://www.doc.govt.nz/map/index.html

I always stop and have a chat with any walkers I come across when carrying a rifle. Be as friendly as possible and try to portray us hunters in a good light. Be sensible and safe as I am sure...

Don't assume that you have to walk for hours to get away from everyone else to get a deer. Far more deer are walked past than shot.
