Thread: Advice For Hunting the Kaimai's

@TakaRat I hope this provides you with some perspective. I met a really cool guy (hunter) on the way out the other day and we got to chatting as you do. He have moved up from Taupo. Said he'd figured out Sika and was averaging one per trip and talked about how. That's pretty impressive average bush hunting in my view. The Kaimais were his new "local". He'd completed 8 trips and put up 4 deer with none shot and had a strategy of learning an area at a time.

There are plenty of entry points in, try a few and figure out which one you enjoy the most. If you don't have days where you are literally physically fighting through supplejack and questioning your life choices.. your doing it wrong. Learn areas, learn where you can hunt and where you can't. Then, slow right down.

Enjoy the process. There is no rush. There is something pretty cool about finding your own spots, wearing your boots out trying, failing, putting up deer, then eventually winning. Then, one day, you'll realise your "local" is actually right up there in your favourite spots list. The Kaimai will give you that, if you earn it.
