    Where the big bulls are... did you access via mid burn or lugar? Hunt the true right or left of mid burn? Tops look easier than normal fiordland. Did you go up or animals down lower?

    As Outdoorlad says take a look at the Hunters Club YouTube episode which will give you a bit of a handle on the block.
    I hunted the Mid burn a few years ago and we took the same access up Tertiary Creek and up onto the edge of the head basin.
    We split the block TL and TR of the Mid burn with another party who went in from the mouth.
    We probably played it a bit too cautious (first wap trip) as there were plenty of cows and followers in the head basin getting harassed by young bulls and we waited for the big boys to show up rather than drop down into the mid valley… the big boys didn’t show up!
    Pretty good going by Fiordland standards

    How did you guys decide to split the block ? Flip of a coin ? . And how did you get in contact with the other parties ?

    Haven't done that just yet but planning to soon. I believe you can reach out to the FWF secretary and they can share the details of the other hunters.

    Last time we just sorted it over the phone before hand, but I guess that would be the fairest way
