Going to be heading in from the Whakamarama road end, following the Leyland O'brien track and coming off it to follow the Ngamuwahine stream towards more bush and a couple clearings. Looking for deer mainly but I wouldn't turn my nose up at a pig First time hunting the area but I'm hoping 3 days will give me some time to get acquainted. So cutting to the chase, are there any tips you could give me? I've been reading the thread about stalking and that info was really good, but I'm a total newbie to hunting deer so even the most basic tips will be helpful. Thanks heaps guys! I'll be sure to post some photos up when I come back (hopefully the type we like to see ).

Three areas from Whakamarama. 1 follow track north to the forest roads where Te Tuhi track heads through to Waikere falls. 2 where your heading is good about an hour south there is a folk in the river look for a small track just before the folk this will take you across both rivers up a bit of a hill and on to about three smaller clearings followed by a larger further north. 3 continue south past the folk there a couple of small clearings on the other side of the river. all failing that do the henderson tramline loop off old kaimai road. Good Luck
