    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    The McDonald's in Hamilton, New Zealand is located at 24-28 Greenwood Street, Hamilton 3204 www.tripadvisor.co.nz. It's a fast food restaurant offering takeout and seating, and is also wheelchair accessible.

    I suspect you'll find you can only have two of : public land, easy access, and good animal numbers. Somewhere like Clements mill might be an exception, but not easy hunting for the inexperienced.

    I consider Piro Piro flats "drive-in access".

    Don't like to carry a pack.....day hunt. Want to drive to hunting....pay for private land hunting,management culls on safari block. Or buy meat from supermarket.

    I know one, it's next to the beer fountain

    When you go there, don't forget to ask for the hookers and blow, they're free

    I was playing fair... Very very few public land places have good easy hunting close to car access. They get thrashed if easy. There are some low price low Hassel meat animal hunts in north island on farmland. Yes it will cost you but will possibly be best option.
