Thread: Haast/Wanaka Blocks

Our party of 4 had Falls Creek first period.
We asked the pilot who was contracting to the company we flew in with if any WARO had been taking place and was told it had been hammered in the weeks prior to us going in.
This was soon confirmed with only about 10 deer seen over the whole trip, including down on the river flats and almost no fresh sign out on the tops or clearings.
We found piles of gut bags with fawns still in them, so WARO had been taking place for months before we were in there.
One of our party had been able to glass the tops on our block from a block next door and had counted about 30 deer out through the day on a previous trip about 3 years earlier.
