Thread: Understanding how to approach deer turf- recommendations for media?

Yeah I did do the hunts course about five years ago, it was great and I learned a lot. It covered things like clothing, river crossing, gear, knife sharpening, how to read maps etc. We got taken out to the blue mountains for a weekend but none of us got anything haha. But someone did find two rotting stag heads caught together by supplejack. I feel like doing it again just as a refresher and because it was fun, though i don't remember them covering specifically how to deal with terrain vs wind. When I went into the blueys with a teacher we kind of just tramped in a well-known track, stopped here and there, he showed me what sign and game trails looks like and such. The closest we got to a deer was while we were eating lunch and a nearby fallow crashed past.

Just applied for another blue mountains visit for April and will visit the catlins next month. Practice makes perfect. In the meantime I am trying to study up. Just found this guide here which is again based in the united states (tree stands seem to be a big thing there) but could apply a lot of those concepts to NZ. https://www.fieldandstream.com/story...ying-the-wind/
