Hi guys. I'm on the scrounge and trying to get some information on where to find reasonable numbers of fallow to hunt in the South Island.
With my usual haunts being around Arthur's pass, (I'm in ChCh) I'm lucky to have some good hunting for reds, pigs and chamois but it would be nice to chase something different for a change.
Any info would be very much appreciated!
Southland/Otago - Blue Mountains, Hokonuis, Greenstone/Mavora off the top of my head but there are probably some closer to you as well.
Last population estimate of the Blue mnts was over 2000 individuals. That enough for you?
Do you know anyone in the pig island or are you likely to ever move there???
Jeez Wirehunt your selection criteria is tougher than that of 1 Ranger Squadron (SAS) even they let in a odd North Islander (or someone that knows one) every now and then.Quote:

Hes just a little upset cos he knows hes missing out on all the good stuff like 20 lb snapper, marlin fishing, wicked hunting and such cos its just one rabbit after another ,,,..Quote:

Are they reasonably well spread throughout?
2000 is a good population but that could be over a huge area! I shall have to get my boots on and have a look...suggestions of good areas to start would be great!
I do get up to the north island occasionally...I still owe a Sika a lead friend from my last unsuccessful hunt in the Kaimanawas! Sneaky buggers!
There are some good numbers down , fairly ,tekapo area . Also closer to home selyn plantation had a few in there .
If you up in nelson theres fallow in 3 different areas in numbers where you have a chance of getting one
But they are infested with people most of the time:yaeh am not durnk:
The whole bloody world is infested with people VC. Some times I wish they would all go somewhere else.Quote:
