Thread: Haast Roar Block 36 Drake River 2022

Hi,
We've scored this block for the 3rd period next year. Anyone been there before? Any info appreciated.
Cheers

Missed ours
Waiting for seconds
Good luck with yours

Cheers @Boxton, Should be a good trip. 1st time in there. Looking forward to some new ground to explore.

Had this block about 3 yrs ago. We were the second party in there was a small amount of sign but obviously the first group had beat us to there.
Was a very disappointing trip and would have done a lot better on doc land around canterbury. On the way out the pilot said he'd been flying groups into that block for 7 yes and not heard a good thing about it.
A few chamois on tops

@topofthesouth Thanks for the info. Good to know.
Cheers

Hunted the block in 2018. The landing site is in the upper valley and there wasn’t a lot of fresh sign nearby. I mostly hunted well downstream. A few hinds and followers on the clearings but only heard the one stag.
Low animal numbers for sure but you never know

Thanks @Highlandstalker. All info is good. Did you see any Chamois while you were there ?

Different times now WAR0C$&ts are up to f...all. They’ll be deer about! I have drake flats 3rd! Good luck get in there!

I hunted the drake a few years ago. No deer seen on the tops but a few chamois seen. Recommend heading to the lowest areas of the block and hunt the bush.

Cheers guys, good info. Many thanks
