Thread: Thank you NZ Hunter!

Ha Ha Ken is one of the best waro operators on the coast. Hes up and down there a fair bit so I wouldnt doubt anything he said. So is James. However if it was 2019 when yous went, there was plenty of action for rec hunters in the valley. A bit earlier and some later to be fair. And a couple of reasonable stags taken.
40 stags out of the country you covered isint a stretch but unlikely. Maybe the whole valley.
I have hunted it when I was shooting and flying and based not far away. You can hunt it pretty fast. Just a small part of a larger run that as you know, takes days on foot.
More of a timing and altitude issue for you guys in that instance along with how the deer move about in there and same goes for a lot of alpine areas on the coast due to other reasons besides waro pressure. Has a lot to do with weather months before and up to the roar.
Respect what you guys do. And not criticising anyones ability or decisions. But I doubt I would bother hunting that country in the rut.
That's part of what I mean by local knowledge
