Hi Lads and Dougie....
I have some leaving owing to me and want to see if there is any interest in a forum Heli hunt I was thinking late spring Nov/Dec. Gives a bit of planning and saving time for us all.
I was thinking either Ecology Spur or Waipakahi Hut am open to other places if someone has a good spot with good deer numbers etc.
Get in touch if your keen , I have had a look at Heli Sika and I think its about $500-$600 pp for a trip, obviously the price is more the furtehr you fly etc.
By the way I have never been to Ecology or Waipakahi, but I have heard good things about ecology...Has anyone been to either and what are they like....Thanks.
Hi Mohawk ,I was going to suggest a CNI forum hunt and or Wanganui area (Sika /Fallow). Camp at road end maybe .
A chopper ride might be out of reach of some members due to the current economic climate.
Spring-Summer works for me.
if you up over the urchin or that area all ya gunna find at the min is dead poisoned deer. its just had its annual dose of 1080. sorry I be the bearer of bad fucken news!!:oh noes:
well that fukn sucks can some one drop off a green pellet to the bees in the hive in Wgton
One of our members who shall remain nameless but is a really good cook that posts a lot of recipes just got a job in the national apiary as a chef Dundee.Quote:

When is your break from your studies bro? I'm off in the first two week of September, potentially planning a week long trip in the Kaimanawas from monday-Saturday one of those two weeks if you're keen give me a PMQuote:

Mohawk660, Phillip has been to the Rushy "eats the ground" run all day training school and has an advanced diploma in five metre striding with full pack. A days walk in to a normal man is but a five minute stroll to him now. In fact I venture that he could give the chopper a ten minute head start and still be in the hut with dinner cooked before you get there.Quote:

Do you have a specific place in mind ?
Nothing specific just thought it maybe another option & a way to get a few more involved .
Might pass on Rushy's training camp ,5m strides with full pack sounds like pointless hard work
Yep hills, rivers, cliffs, valleys, landslides, avalanches, tornadoes, tsunamis, earthquakes, famine and drought are no object anymore. When I swim, I don't get wet, the water gets Phil. Best believe, that dinner will be the back steaks off a sika and not one I prepared earlier. Learnt from the master :cool:Quote:

Rushy, you have created a deer killing monster. Well as soon as he starts the deer killing bit ;)
You are ready Grass Hopper Next trip you can lift the camp oven off the fire with your bare forearms and we are done.Quote:

Only a day to get to Ecology I believe.
I don't think I'll go hunting with Phil... Sounds intimidating and bad for my egoQuote:

And with the glowing endorsement from Rushy of your fine character Phil, that's something the three of us should rectify very soon by doing a weekend mission to spot-X in Sika country :)Quote:

Watch this if you like?
Ecology Spur, Kawekas hunting trip 12-19th April 2010 - YouTube.
Where we got drop off by Spence, the bush is quite hard and tight to hunt due to snow damage over the years, but a lot of top open country hunting, depends on what time of year you are going.
Oh yeah Bring in your water other wise steep walk to the water source!!!! or hope like hell it rains for you to catch it...lol
Great video Kyle. Cheers for sharing itQuote:
