You'll find all the wood around the kaimais damp and an absolute bitch to get a fire going. Thats my experience aNY way.

Have a browse on the doc map. Under parks and recreation, down the bottom there is a link to it. Tick the boxes for hunting areas tracks and huts, can also switch it to top maps or satellite

Bagheera's right ignore my post for a first mission up there. And make sure you have a gps and compass. That bush can get you mucked up pretty quick. 10mins back along the track from the hut to...

Few things (out of the ordinary) that I've started bringing up to the tops with me: heaps of soup sachets - weight nothing, quick + a great way to warm your hands and tide you over when glassing for...

Anyone been up there and got any tips? Had a bit of a look on satellite images and the map but wondering if anyone had any tips. Yet to shoot a red other than on the island and years ago when...

Nice hunting on that route but I wouldn't do a big bush crash there with pack on my first trip to Mangamuka hut. Walk 30 min along the track eastwards from the top of the hill then follow the marked...

Hang a right immediately as you head up tetuhi, follow the ridgeline to the hut instead of the marked track, you'll go through a series of clearings. Some of the best and shittiest bush in the...

Best to take a fly and stay where you end up on dark. Great hunting up above the falls

Mangamuka hut would be the closest but that's pretty far away. You would be better off going up Te Tuhi track and heading to it from there.

Like what has been said above, the deer won't be very active and they will always have the advantage of hearing, scenting, or seeing you. Sitting in a likely looking spot is good but can also be a...

One last wee trick I use when you've actually connected and pretty sure you've hit the animal and didn't hear it bush bash off into the distance. I carry a extra cheap $2 shop fluro vest that I...

I very rarely spot deer when im actually stalking. Just about every deer I shoot in the bush is spotted when im stopped, leaning on a tree, watching a little clearing. It's almost impossible to...
