Thread: Kaimais

I went for my first hunt up Whakamarama today looking for a clearing I had spotted on the Google machine.
I went in off the track and straight away came across plenty of poo, clearings/feeding areas and trails. I was up the backish when I came across my first wallow. Marked it into the GPS and will set up a camera come late March to see whats around.
I got into a bit of SJack and the likes and had a good walk around. I will def head back in next time I'm down.
On the way out about 100m from the track (I was a bit tired after 6.5hrs wondering around and was looking forward to a pie) and I spooked a deer. It crashed of for about 5 seconds then stopped. It was quiet for a little bit before I heard it wandering off with what I think was 3 barks in the next minute or so. I was a little gutted, but stoked to find a very promising looking place since that was the plan today.

Over all the rain and wind was a blessing to a degree. On first arrival it was very crunchy underfoot and the rain softened it up. Am thinking it will be socks over summer up there.
