Thread: WAP WAP WAPITI BALLOT 2023

I’ve drawn billy burn 3rd period. I can’t wait!

No joy for our group of six, 3 from 5 now. Odds do favour the 2or 4 groups. More chances in the main draw and the in the final sweep probably more likely as well. We’re still keen on a SI trip, will have to look back over old episodes of RSHC for some inspiration.

Drew Whitewater P2. First successful ballot in 5 years (although that is after drawing Edith each of the 3 prior years) pumped to get back in there!

Cheers for the run down and advice! We thinking a good base camp down by Doon river mouth - gives us a good base for 1-2 day missions.
Is the river edges walkable? Also planning to hire 2 kayaks for around base camp , shoot over to the hut if rain gets insane

You can follow the river up in and out of the bush easy enough, it's no big wide Canterbury river though.

George River, 1st Period. Got a team of 6, taken 3 years to get a block, I'm stoked. Been doing core/cardio circuits at the gym twice a week since June and still not liking the look of those hills but I'm sure going to have a crack at them.

Got wild natives 3rd period. 2 out of about 11 or 12 I think odds. Looking forward to it.

I've got wapiti river 4th period. Had the block before, not so sure about 4th period. Funnily enough only put in 20 options and this was my last pick

Does FWF normally send out contact details of the other party we block share with?

Yes but probably not untill January

Any tools or items you wish you had of taken? Small spade to dig water drainage… folding saw for around camp..?

Wee zoom round wapiti country today

I reckon every party should be checked as they go in and they're allowed two bullets per party.

Quality photos of a close encounter are much more satisfying than an average set of antlers - and a shit load easier to carry!
