Ive found so many open spots its just not worth going past central districts. I like the look of the area north off Ruapehu on the Tongariro, does that produce many deer? Then you could almost pack the car up, head to the lower Kaimanawa tops, if no good B line to the Kaweka tops. A lot of high country action. Not so keen on the sound of 1080 areas for a while though so probably Kaweka and low Kaimanawa would be the go I think for me.

Fitness is what Im working on now. Had an accident Im still recovering from, so trying to follow the drills some of the kiwi guys put on youtube. Luckily got hills around me to train on.

Obviously the closest and easiest for me would be the Kaimais. But not sure if there is open high country as Ive always been in the bush there.
