Deer in Kaimais,
My hunting mate did a 6 hr loop walk a couple of weeks back and found good sign.
(2 Gut bags) so someone is getting them.
Thompsons track is another entry point. Search the forum as noted above. Lots of hints just on these 2 locations alone.
As you are at uni I'm going to assume young and fit so a quick blast up Thompsons or Wairere falls. Leave AK at 4 am and be walking before 5am.
Put the effort in and expect to take 3-4 trips to the same location looking for sign to get a feel for where they are before you bring back the meat.
