Thread: Whataroa - Prospectors Creek

There will be animals there, I dont know what numbers are like though. Early April is probably a month early to strike the rut, and so depending on if its A nanny territory, there might not be bulls there.

If you take a look at this map of bull sightings, its low anyway.

Also there are two big waterfalls and some very steep country that's going to limit your hunting options or ability to drop down lower if weather turns bad, and my feeling is Its too open with no scrub for there to be many animals. The tahr use the scrub and bush for safety on the West Coast.

Chamois can be anywhere, and low Tahr numbers can mean more chance of chamois, But id be looking elsewhere, probably lower down for them.

Tell us a bit more about yourself. Age, fitness, how long you are in the country, What you are hunting with, mountain hunting experience, and your goals for the trip so that we can help a bit more.
