Howdy all!
I have family who live in Te Aroha and they say there are a few people around town talking about hunting Thompson and Tuahu track. Rumor has it someone took a nice 12 pointer out of Tuahu over the roar. Whats hunting these track like can anyone tell me?
Cheers
Mate speak to or PM @Spook He lives right there and knows the good oil.
The tracks are for walking on - not stalking on
+1 get of the track at least by 10 metres :DQuote:

Yes well it was as black as ebony so no reference point at all and as it turned out it didn't require much distance at allQuote:

I feel a plan forming here :)
Forum hunt in the kaimanawas?
Have to be a track hunt due to zimmer frames and mobility scooters...and does Gibo have training in 'aged care'?Quote:

It can be a very high risk manoeuvre...what one got away with in years gone by takes on a whole new meaning with a bit of age.Quote:

Its a big mission 20km round trip and no sign for half of it. Wont be doing it again in a hurry. Defiantly deer up ther but shes a big carry out.
I guess that you missed the two "road closed" signs spaced 2 km apart before entering the track and the hand written sign at track start stating that track was not usable due to slips. There have been three deer (that I know of) taken from the area on and around the "one hundred acres" since track became "walk in only". The track will be reopened, the biggest hurdle is waiting for the guy from council to "pop the spud" so the 4 wheel drive clubs can start clearing road...a plan is in place...if all goes well, track will be opened by spring.
its alright guys I have a zimmer frame some one can borrow even has its own seat :thumbsup:
