    Secateurs were a life saver! Saw some fresh sign on the track about 2hrs in and managed to track what looked like a reasonable sized stag along a ridge on the Waikato side for about a km or so until the thick stuff got the better of us and we couldn't go on without making too much noise. I wasn't expecting to see much, so I was stoked to get on to something so soon into the hike. Went out Sunday morning and checked out some clearings to the west of the hut, visibility was bad so we headed of at about 9am down the Wharawhara rd track got soaked! cant wait to get back out there. Thanks again for all the advice.

    We got soaked coming out, was a mint trip though I've never hunted the Kaimais so I'm keen to get back out there and familiarize myself with the place a bit more.

    I have seen a guy in the kaimais running around in jeans . I then passed him some 30 minutes later on the road cycling to somewhere? Mad doesn't begin to describe them.

    I wouldn't hunt that high at this time of year. Spring growth is only just showing around the 200 metre [asl] at the moment. Plenty of deer seen at this time of year grazing with the calving cows. If you hunt the bush/farm edge just make sure you spook them enough that they jump the fence back into the native before you ping them.

    Which is worse, ignorance or apathy...I don't know and don't care.
