Dunno who gave you that info???
Deer throughout the area buddy. What areas are you looking to launch from and hunt. Wakahoro south to Wanganui is prob the best hunting on the river with Reds,Fallow,Pigs and goats.
You need to be aware of private land and iwi controlled land as if you are on there by mistake landowners arent that welcoming, if you catch the drift, if caught. The lower stretches of the river would be my pick and there are a few huts along the river you can stay at too. Autmn and winter are the quietest on the river. Rest of the year can be busy with Te Araroa trail, rafters,kyakers etc. @Kudu may have some more info for you.
