Thread: Looking for advice, guidance and hunting experience

Hunting the tramlines at this time of year will find them with plenty of grass cover. Going in from Old Kaimai Road will shorten the journey as opposed to going in at the summit...I always find the thought of hunters stalking the tramlines as bloody scary as they form the North South walking track and any number of trampers could be wandering along and some even camped on them. The bush either side is bloody hard to hunt due to the undergrowth of bush lawyer and supple jack...any heavy rain this week will see the streams in flood and I know there is at least one decent size one to cross...I know little of the number of animals taken from the area as I don't know anyone who hunts there and have seen very few reports on this forum from anyone who frequents the area...but, then on the other hand, if you hunt in from Thompsons Track, where I have considerable knowledge of, I believe you have more chance of nailing a deer...hunting the cutover pines has been quite productive of late and the 100 acres is like a hay paddock at the moment...a couple of weeks ago while out horse riding I seen a lot of reasonably fresh sign at the top in the pines.
