Happy to take you out one day, it is public land, no one owns anything, but they own everything :)

I recall I shot my second ever deer up Wairere falls, and foolishly carried it out whole all the way back to down, as that's what I thought all hunters did... (about 20y back now). Passed about 40 trampers on the way down, which elicited a range of reactions. One group of older women in a tramping group looked terrified and thought I was carrying a 'dead dog' on my back (obviously wasn't a big deer!).
@Tangobravo happy to PM you a few spots that proved fruitful for me in that neck of the woods.
My son I have been checked out the area a few times now, we have come across fresh sign and spooked something, so there definitely in. Still getting to know place but it works out well for us because he lives in Rotorua and I'm in Hamilton.I wonder if we walked past your camera 😅
