Last time i was at lake colenso would have been ten years ago and we found it a bit lean on animal numbers but there had been some WARO going on we found out later.

The Colenso area has quite a bit of limestone in it. Which makes the base of any slip VERY fertile. Was always good pickings if you knew the areas to hunt. Shot my first 8 pointer in there on the shores of Lake Colenso. Carried all the meat out. 55 kg pack for 7 hours if my knees remember right. The stupid things we did in our 20's.
