You guys are thinking of the wrong kind of "boars" we are trying to get our hands on.
We'll keep it on the hush hush mate then there's plausible denyability ;)

shit 6 pages already and no real plans....I would hate to see how many pages it runs to actually get something concrete sorted ...that's not poaching :P
Poor Dougie wants to get out for a forum hunt but it will be mid next year by the time a plan is hatched and then when it is you will have to find it amongst the 199 pages of BS :smash:
Im keen on the 6th Feb if im walking/not doing chemo it is a deffo for me :D
I'm pretty sure I'll drive up for the 6th of Feb

I'd be keen as to join also. Feb 6th should be sweet with me.
I don't entirely agree with you Leathel. Dougie posted this thread three days ago and already we have a date (Waitangi weekend 4 - 6 Feb 2013) a potential venue (Waipakihi Road end) and as a result of your advice regarding private land, we (I) have made a formal request to the land owner seeking permission to camp. In my view that is quite advanced for three days.
Pending a reply to my email there is then a pre hunt recce to be done and the logistics of food, transport etc to be arranged but as I see it we have plenty of time to get that done. Block out your diary and plan on joining us.
Mice and spaghetti and the dominoes sauce stuff. spaghetti bolognese is the shit.
Rushy is now elected as chef :D
Yeah I know its getting there but....6 pages....
Some good hunting in that general area..never been on the southern side of the river but I took my boy hunting off the Urchin track (ended up tenting up near the top) a year or two ago and came across some good sign.... Got one not far from the lower camp too on an earlier trip. There are options a short drive away up the other roads if numbers get up as well and return to base camp for the night to talk shit ;)
Thinning out and spreading to other road ends is a good idea if the numbers get up. Shooting the breeze and talking crap around a camp fire at the end of the day makes the hard yakka all the more worthwhile. Good tucker, good company, tales of lucky deer and unlucky hunters (and vice versa) makes for a great time. If this comes together (and it appears that it will), we will refresh the plans toward the end so everyone doesn't have to trawl through the pages to find the detail.
Join us.. It would be a pleasure to meet you.
I will keep an eye on things but not sure whats on next week never mind a few months away... Have got some things on early Feb but dates TBC and I have no say in them.... when I know I will flick my name down...
I have to try and take my mind of hunting for a bit as I have only had 2 weekends not hunting in the last 10 weeks... I am getting way way behind on so many things its not funny. I have to say No for a bit so I can finish work at my shop and projects for others at home :O_O:
hey team, glad to see there is a bit of intrest in the waipakahi rd forum hunt. speaking of the 42 traverse i was down there yesterday for a bit of a look around and not much doing where i was. it was bommed with 1080 not so long ago. its not a bad place but you have to know where to go. where there is a quad track in u can just about bet your bottom dollar it will be thrashed. i will be a starter for the hunt, always good to meet new likeminded people. waipakahi road end i think is a good area plenty of scope, and across the road is national park which is also contains a few deer. there is some private land but there is heaps of doc land but u WILL get wet feet crossing the river. there is a very good campsite there but if on a long weekend we will have to get in fast. it is a hunters campsite not a flash doc one. anyway count me in.
WhooHoooo river= swim. better be warm. Can we get permits on line? if so whats the name for it? or do we have to see the doc office when we are there? I farking amped for this I hope I can make it.
water will be cold! toby get permits on line. ask for one for kaimanawa forest park, and one other for tongariro national park.
I would be keen for this if it is happening, would be good to meet some of you guys on this site.
I will keep watching this with interest. I havent done much hunting and havent bagged myself anything yet
but more reason to get amoungst it .
Sweet, gonna do it at home and print them off, just in case.
This is starting to sound good.
Rushy I'm just a few minutes off the Norwestern so you'll be able to pick me up on the way ;)
Yup, find an easy walk to a great place I can set up my fly :D
I like the sound of this, Id be keen as well :D
