Mill Road is fine - only a couple of narrow bits as you go down the hill towards the river.

Went up to Hinerua yesterday and Tukituki River is so easy to walk up - tonnes of gravel has filled in all the previous river channels. Track to hut was mint - no windfall at all.

Anybody got any intel on the status of the ranges?

Hey all

I am relatively new to hunting and want some advice.

Went for a wander the other day in an area well-known for deer and the sign I saw proved it.

A couple of questions:

Hi All

What (if any) oil should you use for protection and lubrication of your rifle action and barrel?

Can you coat the outside of metal parts with oil for protection?

Thanks in advance.

Which deer farm were you on again??

Agree also. Longview and Sunrise are two great family huts on the eastern side. Note that Sunrise is on the DOC booking system.

How long is an area contaminated if people have walked through it or it has been fired on?

Is there any point in going to an area if you know someone was there the day before and claimed to have...

Don't think so - it was still pink in the middle... Or can overcooked backstrap still be pink?

Is it just blended up fresh Pineapple? Nothing else?

No I didn't take the outer layer off but is was all the meat that was tough not just the outside.

It was a hind - unsure on age but didn't look overly old I thought. How do tell how old they are? I wasn't going grey and balding like me!!

Yes, the silver skin was removed.

Shot our first Sika (hind) recently and took off the backstraps, both back legs and one front leg. Put the meat in the meat safe at the hut within an hour of shooting. We left the meat in the game...

When you bone out the legs is it best to keep the muscle groups together or separate them?

Is it best to separate muscle groups before or after you have left the meat to hang (in the fridge at...

Doesn't look like a standard DOC issue hut!!

Not sure - we didn't go and have a good look around the base of the slip in case our scent buggered it up.

Not sure if you can see in the photo but there is a game trail across one of the...

Gotta start somewhere!!

Nice slip on a river with lots of grassy bits...

The walking route the the hut in the valley is down the river - how is the deer use of the slip for feeding effected by people walking past.
