I recall seeing 23 deer on the back ridge in one sitting.
I was in there for the Wahine storm. 1968. Quite a night.

Have you done much around north mangahau biv?

I used to but the access got tight and I got sick of asking the cocky. Not sure how it is now. It's a neat area. If you want to hunt there I can send you some info. PM me.

You are starting to sound like your father. Nice vid!
