Good on you for walking out early as I have bumped into deer on the track even shooting a nice 6 point stag some years back. It's a bit of a walk into the hut but as you've seen there's some awesome country in there.

It's a shame "Stanfeild Whare" no longer exists but the river reclaimed it.

@Friwi... are you sure you saw trout in the Kaipo as there's a 50 metre waterfall some distance down river where trout could never get up past it!

yeh this ridge/saddle place is a good spot- critters all over the place when I was there 4 years ago
