Ahuriri also has a lot of cyclists but where ever you pick at this time of year a tent is required for a back up if huts are full. My pick would be to climb off the valley floor and hit the tops for...

My oldest boy has shot 8 red deer from 8 shots since mid October using Hornady American Whitetail in .243. Certainly does the trick. The odd one has run a wee bit, maybe 50 metres, but most not more...
