Thread: Upper caples block

Hi all,

I have been lucky enough to get the Upper Caples block in late April. I have never hunted this block before and would appreciate if any one who has can share any advice on hunting this block during the roar.

Cheers

Kay and Fraser creek seem to hold alot of animals. We run into most of our bucks high in the bush. Do lots of sitting and watching in the bush, its amazing what will pass through a nice area

Thanks for the info. Really looking forward to this trip.

@Wanderer this near us?

Nah Mate @StagRyan . This is in the upper Greenstone...

I presume you know the old Doc hut up there is now run by the the Queenstown Lakes DA? It's awesome.

We saw plenty of deer last time we were in there (2014), but not sure of numbers now. The side creeks held the most deer, but because they're pretty narrow, you need to think about wind movements in them.

Directly across the river and down stream from the hut are some nice terraces to hunt in the bush - its open and the deer lurk in there all day.

We spent a bit of time in the tops, but only saw a few deer, nothing of interest. In the head of Kay Creek I saw a nice young 10 point red and left him, he had 3 hinds with him. Also saw some chamois in the tops also.

If you want specific info send me a pm.
