    First time drawing a ballot - Doon 2nd period. As soon as I’m over covid I’d better start training!

    Our first time drawing too (second attempt). Catseye third period - a 4 man group. First time hunting Wapiti... first time in Fiordland. Epic! All advice welcome!

    Doon pretty easy block to get around you'd trip to the tops and back daily no problems. Some cool spots to camp down by the lake, it is outside the wilderness area though and I've seen plenty of boats and tents in the there with guys trying their luck before the ballot periods start.
    270 is a harmonic divisor number[1]
    270 is the fourth number that is divisible by its average integer divisor[2]
    270 is a practical number, by the second definition
    The sum of the coprime counts for the first 29 integers is 270
    270 is a sparsely totient number, the largest integer with 72 as its totient
    Given 6 elements, there are 270 square permutations[3]
    10! has 270 divisors
    270 is the smallest positive integer that has divisors ending by digits 1, 2, …, 9.

    Edit to add: there is plenty of country in the block however and you'd do well to get right into the back of the block where the weekend warriors have probably not had a chance to stir things up. Hear plenty of stags going bananas in there third period last year down near the lake though

    Stillwater. First time.
    Looks like it could be good for some pack rafting

    Only the core wilderness area blocks are closed to hunting before the ballot, Doon would be one of the more accessible blocks outside that area so it does get hunted pretty regularly. That said there's a lot of land in there and your chances will be a lot higher with more time in there and the possibility of stags making some noise

    We've made our regular donation, no joy for us. Was excited about the potential of the 6 person block option this year, interested to know how many groups of 6 were successful?

    2 from 8 attempts, guess that's about the norm. At least I can have a guilt free Summer!
