I stay up there often March - May a few nights to see if I could hear anything but only the odd Red...I’ve done it a bit as I have always been fascinated by them. I have heard one up behind the Waipunga South hut 20 years back.
Both my father and poppa have shot them behind the Hautapu hut up towards the Plateau.
The only one I have actually seen was South road- north of the Pukeroa as it squealed at me and bolted (old man up and missed it). I was about 11 at the time.
