Awesome write and photos mate, have done a fair bit in jap creek up the top end from the kaipo side myself. Good thing about going in from te iringa is you're hunting a lot of the way up, about 6-7hrs. The deer love the jap creek tops all year round, you'd be surprised at how much warmer it is up there in the winter on fine days, get's sun straight away whereas the likes of the kaipo and valley floors are much colder. Cheers.
