Hi There,
Heading to Queenstown for wedding anniversary.
Looks like I'll have a day where the wife doesn't want me around....
So, Planning to head out with two of the kids 14 and 18 to see what we can see.
Pigs,Goats,Deer whatever.
In the general area of Queenstown. Anyone suggest a block to try our luck for a day option?
10 internet credits for the best suggestion. GO.
Skippers canyon? Hunting in a day might not be best but awesome drive
How fit?
Routeburn, Dart river, Mt Aurum, Mt Crighton are all spectacular with low to medium change of seeing something.
Chris
how fit?...somewhat.
Mt Crighton (12 mile?)
Looked at that. Whats that like on the climb?
You don't have to try had to find a deer on Mt.Crighton but I recommend asking permission first. There are now cameras placed around the farm to catch poachers. You don't have to be too fit either, unless you want to climb to the top of the hill. Perfect countryside for the kids too.
Thanks.
Ill have a yarn to DOC Q/Town for the two-day permit.
As far as I understand it, aurum and 12 mile are both rha's, last time I checked up they were booked out 3 months in advance. You might get lucky tho.
When?
Was last year sometime from memory, may have changed since then.
RHA?
Recreational Hunting Area. When you down?Quote:

They're not RHAs, but restricted permit areas - small areas and popular, so not covered by open permit. theoretically.
Could give Paul the arms officer a call too he's a keen hunter
I've got a restricted permit for 12 Mile / Mt. Crichton for Friday 12th and Saturday 13th of August. Will likely take the last few hours of Thursday off work and head up to the hut.
At this stage I'll be heading in by myself so if anybody wants to join feel free to send me a PM.
Disclosure - I've never been in there before.
Weather might be a bit scruffy for you this weekend.
Cheers, @JoshC , but it's a few weeks out from this weekend...
Edit: Unless that's aimed at the initial poster haha
Yep original fella [emoji846]Quote:

Only out for the morning so an hour in and hour out may be enough for another successful....walk.
Did you get my PM? How did you get on?
