Thread: Red stags Canterbury.

[QUOTE=Sauer;988039]Thanks for your words of infinite wisdom Cyclops, but neither a position given as a latitude and longitude nor one given as an NZMS grid reference have anything whatsoever to do with gps.[/QUOTE

My point, which you only partially understood, was that many don 't know the difference between a northing-easting and lat-long coordinate systems as they have only used a GPS system.

You, @Sauer, are correct the northing-easting need reference to a location.
It was an additional point that I didn't make because that wasn't relevant to my post. Thanks for your post.

And of course there are more technical details around the use of lat-long, GPS, coordinate systems that I did not mention either because they weren't relevant too.

No decent stags in Canterbury. Best you go somewhere else

Should add, if you haven't hunted in the Sth Is yet, its best to go with someone and not be too ambitious, it might take a couple of trips to get really proficient - the Southern Alps and especially its rivers, are not that forgiving of poor preparation or haste.

Cheers for that mate. Yea I have been hunting down there few times b4. Just doing bit of homework for next trip in year or twos time.

For those struggling with the topo grid reference, here are the lat long -43.529198 172.618732

And for those still using lats and longs remember that SAR teams work with nztm.

Ive been through that area many times as a kid. Never seen any deer but a few your dears used to hang out there.....

Ring up High Peak Station after the lock downs finish.They should let you shoot a couple of fallow or stag for a small fee.And they are not easy to get near either,fallow that is.
