Otutu is pretty nice country, good scope for tops hunting and some nice bush either side for the roar - especially down the Manson Creek side.
You can also drop down and up the other side to the...

+1 to tenting or fly camping.

The deer are clever especially around the huts, they get a lot of pressure on the tops. You will do a lot better by putting in an extra hour or two and getting...

If you could shoot me a PM with some info about the block that would be really appreciated.
Will be my first time in a Wap block.

Our party got Wild Natives 1st Period. Exciting times, better start training :D

Same here flying with Chris from EKH.
Just hold on to collar between the legs. Factor in dog weight to total pax weight.

Ah gotcha, yeah not the hardest walk in just a bit of a grind up the hill to Mole hut. Mr300WSM - the info was sent out to NZDA members via email, I don't think its available on the DOC website.

You sure can walk in. I've hunted Block 1/2 a few years ago. Held plenty of deer when I was in there and reasonable numbers of Chamois as well.

I purchased one a few weeks ago and must say it is a quality wee axe. The communication from the team at Tuatahi is excellent as well

Good stuff man, I saw your advert on instagram and did your survey.
Sounds like it will be a valuable tool for growing our sport.

Thanks for the feedback. They look pretty good and at the weight savings I am extremely tempted to go down this route.
Would you recommend going for a triplex? Most of my hunting is down solo,...

Has anyone had any experience with the Zpacks duplex/triplex tents in NZ conditions? I have been running an MSR Access 2 for 5+ years now but at ~2kg she isn't that light.
I am thinking of moving...

Another vote for twin needle

Nice work, always good when the workout in the wet pays off!

Quite a few in Otaki Forks mate, saw about 15 last time I was in heading up to Waiotauru Hut on the slips in the river. I have also heard there is meant to be a few in Penn Creek in Tararua's but...

Thanks for the reply.
Yep that's just how it goes these days with policies!
Sounds good re side straps, probably not ideal for the shitty bush I carry the rifle through in the Tararua's etc....

Hey Bryan, how did you manage to get the quick drawer rifle holder in?
I am looking to move to the Kuiu pack system as well but when trying to add that particular item it says it's restricted and...

Thanks for the update and perseverance Gruffle :)

Hey I am also keen to grab one thanks.

Unsuccessful :(

Hey mate,
I have one you can borrow, send me a DM with your number and ill flick you a text.

Definitely, just not when in fawn.

A spot my brother and I frequent in the north Tararua's quite a lot.

Every time I go there I always get the same weird, ominous feeling. Something about the place just seems really off and I...

Morning fella,
You sure in a good spot up there with some nice public land access.

Awesome episode Greg!
Your escapades are something to aspire to.

Oh god too true, then the upgrades begin. Maybe a carbon fibre stock or bipod, new optics..
Welcome anyway Paz! Good to see you weren't scared off in your original thread lol
