Thread: Mt Grey

Anyone hunting Mt Grey??

Apparently there are Red deer in low to moderate numbers and I’ve been told Fellow too?

Been to the tops through Red Beach track a couple of times, no sign, no deer seen.

Seen old sign further on closer to the trig

I’ve shot a few in and around Ashley Forest up into Mt Grey.
Where I hunted numbers would have been termed ‘low’.

I know fire guys and hunting clubs get gate access to the forest for hunting.
Doesn’t appear to be much happening in the DOC block?

Yeh I did the club thing to get legit access and it give a chance to have a good look around but up top there were a few more around.
A mate shot a top Chamois actually in the forest which I found funny and obviously strange.

Cool

Might be worth another look then

Yea, I’d be surprised to Chamois up there too!

Have seen deer on the road up. But arnt many

Walked into pinch gut but a while ago in summer mid day. Saw people heading out, went into the hut, heading back out saw a hind and yearling feeding on the track. Lifted my arm up and said boom...... Scared the shit out of them from 15m

Mt Grey,walked up pass the old possum hut about a k in April,stags roaring around op over the creek.Step snarling bush down to the creek and up to where stags are.You gota be a mountain goat with a big chain sore in there.Go up there mid week, to many loopys about in the weekends.

Used to hunt there a lot. You will get the odd deer on Mt Grey, especially on the bush edge at the top in mornings and evenings, and some good pigs on the back faces. There are more deer in the bush gullies in Ashley forest, surprisingly close to civilisation, and pigs and deer in the Kowhai river valley.
