Stoked! bought me the spot x book today and i wish i bought this a year or two ago when i begun hunting...
anyway this has got me really pumped for 2017 hunting. i think its great especially with each tip that comes with each location.
just hope they will provide a few successful spots for me this year so i can lose my deer "virginity"...
The book will put you in the right area. After that it will be up to your skills.
Damn, thought this was going to a thread for everyone to put up details to favourite locations with only a 5Min flat walk and 100% success rate.... Got the book yet to go and check out any of the locations yet though...
Haha ! I've had enough of that too , I'll see how it pans outQuote:

Anyone found the chamois in the pureoras yet...hahahaha
Google earth is probably a better way of research than those books. All the best though mate I hope you get onto something up there.
Your not wrong, Word of mouth and a lot of time in an area is the way to go. Google Earth can mess you up though,What can look like large open meadows can be 2m tall toi toi laced with blackberry lolQuote:

Too true... had a 'nice open tussocky looking face' turn out to be 5m high manuka scrub once.Quote:
