Many deer left in the Tauherinikau ?

I haven't kept track of how frequent the drops have been in the valley or their effects, wondering whether I should take rifle as well as rod for a school holiday trip? Any local advice please?

Definitely take a rod. Would be keen to know about the deer too.

I left the rifle at home in the end - given that I had been assured that there were no deer.
And the fishing: all the pools had at least one obvious fish, I didn't even bother looking into the faster water. Great weather over the past 2 days for sight fishing.

Slip shooting gets underway in the SE Ruahines in another 4 weeks, somewhere much more in need of a reduction in deer numbers, so I'll take what I need from there.

There will be about half a dozen less reds in Tauherinikau next week.

Off topic, is the Race Course still there? I think the pubs gone? Good New years day at the races, many years ago. The yanks owned the big house just down the straight towards Featherston just before the POW camp. My father used to do maintenance work there during the war.
