Hunted it this April. Will send you a message

I have hunted the true right of the block (Lake Roxburgh - Henderson Burn). If you are hunting that side feel free to send me a message. The TL inc the Nitz is certainly the most popular.

Yeah ignore my previous post… I was referring to Cotters in the Dingle not the Hunter. A bit of a walk!

It’s a pretty easy walk over from the Ahuriri and then downstream through the upper Dingle, can fly in if you’re feeling flush (landing strip for a fixed wing too)

A VERY busy valley at times with...

I have been using a Hilleberg Soulo for backpack trips the last few years, bomber construction. Personally I’d rather carry the extra weight of a 1 man tent v splitting a (likely 3 man) larger tent...

I have a 65mm angled swaro with the 20-60.
Never tried the wide angle but happy with the 20-60 (mate has the same). Often have it cranked up to 60x for trophy evaluation

I have had a few different sleeping pads over the years.
A couple of exped down mats which were very comfortable but both had baffles delaminate.
I have a regular thermarest xlite with the tapered...

I have been using a realdog pack for the last few years on my GWP & DD.
Pretty basic design but well made.
Never loaded them down too heavy 1/3 of body weight max.

Don’t put anything fragile...

As Outdoorlad says take a look at the Hunters Club YouTube episode which will give you a bit of a handle on the block.
I hunted the Mid burn a few years ago and we took the same access up Tertiary...

Hunted the block in 2018. The landing site is in the upper valley and there wasn’t a lot of fresh sign nearby. I mostly hunted well downstream. A few hinds and followers on the clearings but only...

I have a pair (usually just take one) Black Diamond Alpine FLZ poles. They are aluminium with flick locks and cork handles. Have had them for about 5 years and beat the hell out of them, still going...

I use superperformance in my 18” 7 Saum.
Goes well with 168 vlds, get about 2825 or so

Drew the Edith 3rd period which I’m pretty happy with. First core block, hunted the Mid Burn 3 years ago.

Hi Reindeer is this Baker Creek that you are referring too?

Anyone been into Forbes (upper Hunter) in recent years? I’d imagine WARO activity has reduced deer numbers... probably a few chamois though

Hi all,

Managed to draw a landing site in the 2020 ballot.

Baker Creek mid May. Anyone hunted there and have any information they would be willing to share?


Cheers

How are you liking that Area 419 brake Cam? Looks like a good concept for easy changing between a directional brake & suppressor

MotoMox have Hilleberg tents, looking at getting a soulo myself

Missed out in the draw but picked up Mid Matukituki 4th period as a leftover; should be alright for a quick wander

Drew block 48 - Okura (Head) first period. First time applying in Haast ballot, should be fun!

I have mostly been using a Macpac Ascent 65l for the last few years; a good pack but the skinny design makes packing a bit of a pain. I bought a One Planet McMillan 90l a few months ago and I'm...

I have a Leupold Gold Ring 15-30 x 50 spotter and it has been a good first scope. Pretty good glass and nice and light... so it does actually go in my pack. That said I have found the top end...

Here is my bearded crocodile - Briar 5 year old GWP
She is a good indicating dog and also does a reasonable job on the ducks

I used to take that freeze dried K9 food on trips for my GWP... that is until they about doubled the price and it was hardly cheap before.
For the last trip I took her away on I made up a mix of...
