Thread: Waihohonu, Tongariro NP

Hi all,
I'm thinking of heading into the Waihohonu hut later this month (club hunt), and am after a bit of advice.
I'm not after anyone's spots, just some ideas of strategy to hunt this type of country as I mostly bush stalk and have never hunted this type of open country before.

It looks like it's bino sit-and-glass country. There appears to be limited areas of bush, so do you watch the edges of the bush areas, or will the deer be out in the open scrub country as well? The area should get the moring sun, so I expect watching the sunny west/north faces and guts is worth a try (assuming the sun comes out!).

Is the carpark on the Desert Road okay to leave the vehicle? Or best to try and organise a shuttle?

TIA for any info or tips
