Thread: Advice for someone from Across the ditch coming to Nz to hunt som Red deer

If you fly in and base yourself in a hut that pretty well give a two hour radius around the hut that gets heavily hunted

I prefer to be 3 or 4 hours from a hut and camp.
Then pretty well hunting virgin country all the time.

And you don't have to be in the back of beyond.
Deer numbers in the South island are the highest they've been since the 70s

That makes sense, i think it would be a missed opportunity not to make use of flying somewhere with a helicopter if nothing else but for the experience, maybe it would be a good idea to go somewhere where we know there's a hut not too far away just in case things go sideways.

that way we will also be in an area that will still have good deer numbers as well.
