    Rata peaks is land locked and surrounding stations let NO ONE in to hunt it....be very,very careful . One of said station owners has"more $ than God" and is happy to burn it up on lawyers in order to maintain status quo..... Or so I have heard from those in the know.

    Not a very large piece at all. Poaching used to be a way of life, but id be wary of lead flying about.
