Thread: Waiotaka or Whitikau river valleys, Suggestions Recommendations or Hints

Hi Guy's
I've been offered a choice of a spring hunt in one of 2 river Valleys in the Kaimanawa forest Park.
Waiotaka River of Whitikau River.
Any one hunted these and got any suggestions etc.
Slip faces accessible from the valley floor,
how easy is it to move up and down the valley floors, grass areas around the river.
In the Whitikau, is it practical to walk up the spur to the Ruatahuna tops, or at least part way up to access some north facing country and drop down into it.
