Thread: Upper greenstone info

Hi guy and gals,
My buddie and I are heading into the upper greenstone on the 16th of May.
I am looking for advice on what the bucks are up to this time of year I have little to no fallow hunting experience apart from shooting a handful of meat animals on a small local doc block in spring/summer.

Cheers in advance

Young Boys will b starting to mob up big boys will b out on there own no longer with the girls so use ur eyes if it's cold look in the sun if it's warm look in the shade

Onya mate
I'm goin in end of June. Gonna be nipply cold by then.

Cheers, has anyone seen the mature bucks on the tops that time of year feeding up after the rut?

They will b where the feed is atm there is no feed up high as been a very dry season mainly seeing them in guts and basins

Big fellas have departed and just the young ones remain atm. In June hunt the inversion area, above the valley floor where it warms up.
Heaps of animals up there

Yep, what @Padox and @Gkp said.... 100%.

It's been real dry since February after a wet January and the last few days have also been surprisingly warm. Don't forget to take your binos... might be handy for checking out the scrubby areas in that inversion layer.

Enjoy.

I’ve got it in August...any tips ?

Look really really high if u want a buck haha

and really low if you want a doe.

Take a hot water bottle and a pair of skis. Haha.

They'll be hard to find I expect, holding up tight in the scrub. If you find one let us know where. One things for certain, I won't be joining you. Brrrr!

@hebe take warm clothes, I’ve been in there a few times mid winter and the valley floor probably didn’t get above -5 for the 5 days we were in there had to take the lid off the water tank and axe thru the Ice on top to get water but it’s an awesome valley to visit. As others have said target the area above the frost line, sunny scrubby spots, etc
