Phillip is coming out tomorrow to zero so he could do that

Is that code for "he doesn't know he's fixing the strainer post yet"?

Hancocks have agreed to pay for a contractor to do that so he gets off.

Nah he is a young buck and the cast iron is better.

[Haggie]

Could we have a quick show of hands from people planning to come who class themselves as beginner hunters or more importantly have very limited bush experience?
Was just thinking that it might be sensible to to team them up with more experienced members as it is a winter trip and if it's like the lower whirinaki there will be some shitty bits to deal with on those hills.

not a pro by any means and have never got myself a deer. But i know how to find my way round well enough with a compass and map and have and old garmin as a back up. And my rifle and knife have been blooded well enough but still have got alot to learn when it comes to deer.

Im pretty fresh to hunting, but rate myself pretty highly Nah, never got a deer but trust myself to find my way out.

Im keen to come down, just need to sort out work. Wont worry about trying to sort a ride with anyone yet.

You could try talking to Gibo for a ride, he's coming from Te Puke.

Welcome to the forum Mattwolfe. It is a free country we live in so the trip is open to anyone, Note that there are a limited number of bunks and there is no guarantee that we will be the only lot there,

Phillip, looking at the pics in the link I think you will find that is has 9 beds (3 rows stacked 3 high) rather than 9bunks = 18 beds assumed at the beginning of the thread.
As proxy organiser do you want to ring DOC and confirm?
I was going to sleep outside anyway so it isn't going to bother me.

Hi Fellas, Mucko his 12 year old cousin and myself went to Midway hut in spring, it was a nice walk not a huge amount of sign and the only animals we say were the pigs shot by the pig hunters. However I hear there have been alot of animals taken from that area, and im no professional deer culler ! The walk is realtively flat and easyier enough for a 12 year old to walk, however there are 46 river crossing according to (http://www.taupotrampers.com/horomangaValley.pdf) I thought there was a hell of lot more river crossings. Might be a usefull bit of info if your planning to go in during winter. As it is close to Galatea it is a favourite for locals who will come in by 4x4 or horse.

I've sent an email to the DOC office in Murupara so I'll let you all know what they say.
