There was a guy Tim Stewart who used to write for NZO, his segment was specifically around hunting in the Hauhangaroa Range, worth tracking those articles down if possible.

Wouldn’t give Helisika the steam off a hot turd.

I’m most impressed that you can roar that far!

Beautiful stag JP, never thought I’d see the word “ELD-X” in one of your posts.

I went in for the morning last Sunday, and roared one in an hour after leaving the car, at around 9am.

The deer are in decent numbers between Waiorongomai and SH29, numbers start getting a bit lower north of there.

Pick an access point and keep going back until you learn the area. A lot of the...

I never got a chance to go, with covid and whatnot. Had a look through my private messages a while ago and couldn’t find anything, did you email me?

Thanks Bruce. Probably a bit cynical of me, but after the debacle with the Urewera huts and DoC condoning their removal/destruction, I’m guessing they’d recommend observing the rāhui. There is a...

I know the iwi have no power to enforce a Rāhui on crown land without DoC enforcing it, but I like returning to the carpark to find my ute in one piece.

I’ve tried for years now to get onto a fallow on DoC land, but somehow never quite get there.

I’ve tried the Te Miro ballots without success, hunted some of the small northern blocks of Whanganui...

The good old days, when men were men and pants were optional.

I’d be inclined to say the second print is deer, with another deer print below it but at a 90 degree angle. Pig prints will generally show the dew claw marks too.

Shot this nice big hind on Saturday. Decided to carry her out whole, I have three kids under 10 so we use a lot of mince, and I wanted to take all the trim and poor cuts I could for this. Carry was...

I’ve never owned a decent sleeping bag, have always made do with sub-$100 bags. What I don’t understand is bag temperature ratings, and so-called three season and four season bags. Can one bag really...

Thanks for the advice. Certainly would only go up with a good forecast, but might look into some other options.

I’ve unintentionally made a ritual of taking the kids hiking before Christmas. With the eldest two (now 7 & 9) I’ve done a bit of the Round The Mountain Track and up and over Mt. Pureora.

Thinking...

I’ve been told before that there’s rusa between Owairaka Valley Rd and Arapuni Rd. Thought it was BS, apparently not.

Thanks, it’s a BRNO ZKK601 .243 (EBRG).

I thought about putting some photos in the “Blued and Walnut” thread, but there’s no blue left [emoji854]

Came across this spore at the top of my property. I’ve seen goats up there before but not deer, although there are allegedly a few rogue reds and fallow about. Any experts able to tell me which? I’m...

Hi all,

Just renewing my FAL, and have a question - does the unrelated referee need to be a FAL holder? It has a box for their FAL details but unsure if it’s mandatory.

Howdy all. I was happily using ViewRanger for years, found it to be a great app. It was semi-recently taken over buy a crowd called Outdooractive, and I hate their app. If you’re a free user it has...

I believe you do need a license from F&G, I never did though (I was a kid and knew no better).

Rudd are abundant in most of the Waikato hydro lakes, used to catch them as a kid with a bit of bread under a float. They’re also in Lake Rotoroa (Hamilton Lake), as are perch and catfish. Can’t say...
