[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 928097, member: 17844"] Be careful of the chopper fees they can charge you a lot of money just to fly over the next hill from where you already are. Large numbers of deer are not around like they once were before helicopter hunting and proffesional cullling . NZ proffessional cullers were the most effecient hunters on the planet and they basically wiped out large herds . Like the Caples fallow herd which they also poisoned . It was the largest Fallow herd on Earth and they dessimated it . I would not leave anything behind in a hut . Travel light and take everything with you each day or stash some stuff in a dry bag in the bush away from the hut and pick it up on the way back to the hut. Purify all water taken anywhere near a hut as many of the tarns contain Legionella and Ecoli . My research at the time showed that the largest number of deer were in the Waitutu forest in the very South . You can walk in along the coast from Tuatapere but it is Maori land along some of the coast so no hunting near teh coast . Or get a jet boat down Lake Hauroko to Teal Bay , Dean and Rowallan forests are close by and also have deer . I have a massive data base on NZ but I don't want to go back into it much because it's upsetting . In the old days the best thar blocks were Adams , Lambert and Lambert Lord and you had to chopper in bt it is technically possible to tramp in up the Wanganui river to Adams river . However you can do a lot of driving and permit hunting for the cost of chopper fees. I reckon the best plan is to get around as many places as possible rather than spend big money on one spot that might fail . You see more of the country and meet more people that may put you onto a good local spot . [/QUOTE]
