Thread: Accessible hunting land

Kia ora team,

My name’s Devon and I’m based in the Waikato, around the Hamilton/Cambridge/Te Awamutu area, and I’m really keen to get into deer hunting.

I’ve got my own rifle and some gear, and I’ve been doing as much research and prep as I can, but I’m running into a bit of a barrier finding accessible locations. I live with a physical disability that means I can’t walk very far, so I’m hoping to connect with others who might know of (or own) land in the area where access is manageable — or even have ideas for good spots where a quad, side-by-side, or vehicle can get fairly close to where I’d need to be.

I’d love any advice or leads, and I’m more than happy to help out where I can, learn the ropes, and show full respect for the land, the animals, and any access that’s offered.

Thanks heaps in advance — looking forward to getting involved and learning from the community!

Cheers,
Devon
