Not expecting anyone to give me all their secrets just some basic info, cheers.

Probably the same as it has been for a while, heli outfit shoots a heap of velvet stags out of there during spring and summer then take the money from the roar hunters in there chasing stags that no longer exist.

Yup. And add in the Wallis crew who hit places like the Waiatoto and pillage it for pet food pre roar. Despite the fact that they have access to huge amounts of private land with shit loads of deer that I’m sure will make good pet food too.

PS: I got McKay Creek in the Cascade. Period 3.

Block 68 for us period 4.

Thats the cool thing about the timing of the haast ballot. 4th period coincides with the first week of the school holidays so great for the kids
