 Scouting for red deer in New Zealand I've had a few of you contact me about hunting red deer so thought id start taking some photos of my hunts now that its getting warmer.
This is an old logging road called Cascade road in the Longwoods about 1/2 hour from home, I hadn't been up here in ages so just checking for sign. Not far from here last week me and my mate missed 4 hinds standing in the open.

Re: Scouting for red deer in New Zealand This is reasonably open bush, its not virgin forest but its probably 80-120 years old here. The younger stuff up the road further is tight you can hardly push through it.
Going up to night shoot it tomorrow morning, see what walks out onto the road one of the advantages of no game wardens.
Have a look on google earth its an interesting piece of forest with some selective logging continuing and old roads cutting all through it.

Re: Scouting for red deer in New Zealand Hey walkers. I google earth NZ. Is the cut between Wellington and Marlboro is that all NZ. Dumb question I know. I didn't know NZ was two islands. I tried lookin at the forest but it wouldn't give a good street view. I did ask my ol lady if she wanted to move there. NZ is a nice place real purdy

Re: Scouting for red deer in New Zealand OK cool I will google it and try to look it up on google earth. It is definately pretty land. When I was in Guam we had a chance to go to Austrialia but we didnt do it and I think that we might could have gone to New Zeland. Lookin back I wish I would of went but my ex-wife was not a traveler..
