Hunting for Urewera deer.

[@truebluekiwihunting9476]

Awesome footage vid once again Fred, always nice to get those around camp jobs done early, although they are the mundane chores, it's great to see someone elses set up. Nice bit of meat for the freezer is always a bonus. Thanks for sharing your trip.👍👍👍👍

[@nzmeateater]

Thanks Blue, I knew you would be into it.

[@beautifulassam8810]

Thank you so 🎉

[@russellhope1866]

Beautiful part of NZ, last hunted there when Lyn Thynne (hope the spelling is right) was meat hunting the area and Reg Elwood was flying them out to Hopes chiller back in the 70’s …. Feeling a little old about now. Pat Braithwaite and his pack of misfits was camped up at Tawa Hut. Very interesting days back then. Great vid thanks.

[@nzmeateater]

Yea I remember my first time in here, came over from Moke one winters day, all Lyns possom permits were on a nail on the wall and his gear in the hut, but he was not there that day, I never stayed just went back over to Moke same day., its a great spot in there.,,Thanks for watching👍😁

[@calehenstock3356]

[@drumsandstix128]

@@nzmeateater Its awesome mate. I love it! I miss the NZ bush. I love the Aussie bush too, dont misunderstand me, but the good ol NZ bush is really the bees knees!LoL

[@nzmeateater]

@@drumsandstix128 Yea no snakes, crocs, tigers ,bears etc, biggest danger in NZ bush is the weather and our own bad decisions.

[@nzmeateater]

Gday,thanks, yea its a good radio most of the time, ssb ,better performance in the summer with the longer days, more ionnization in the atmosphere at that time of year I guess?

Thats a cool comment, thanks for that, keep wind in ya face, and hunt the sunny faces if you can, mornings n evenings in the spring/summer up the creeks, deer love the spring grass👌.

Hi fred a native from the ureweras here ..wow cool vid m8 ..was that a drone u used ? That got pretty high . I mainly hunt Maungapohatu and Ruatahuna . I loved that old forestry hut smell . Is Kohunui hut on the eastern side of ureweras toward gizzy ?

[@nzmeateater]

Gday Sonny, Thanks for the comment,,yep I use a drone and yep the eastern Ureweras, 2 or 3 day's walk from Maungapohatu. I love it too, love hunting n just being in the bush aye. a good reality check away from an insane world., Maungapohatu n Ruatahuna are nice spots in the middle of paradise .

[@wattanaboonyang8515]

Remind me of the experience in the hut. Hope to come back here again one day.

[@nzmeateater]

Yep,I hope so too Wattana, you will enjoy this spot.

[@highlandhuntersnz7641]

some nice open bush there! Do you have to take the good with the bad or is it mostly open like that?

[@nzmeateater]

Usually the higher we go the better the bush untill you get to the thicker monkey scrub at the snow line, coastal bush often thicker, I think its temperature related ,,,to a degree.

[@chrispyskiwiadventures3583]

Epic looking trip bro🤙🤙

[@nzmeateater]

Thanks Chris.

[@pigeonpecker7623]

what does it cost to fly in and out?

[@nzmeateater]

Too much lol

[@timmonapier8832]

A great vid marred only by you showing someone else's rubbish left in the fire place. You look to be the same generation as me and most probably sit there scratching your head thinking "What's so hard about take your shit home and put it in the bin!" Thanx for sharing the trip and showing a tidy hut when you left.

[@nzmeateater]

thanks for the comment,,,,,glad you like the vid. Better that the rubbish is left in the fireplace rather than scattered through the bush like some lazy assholes do.

[@craigperry7376]

Another enjoyable vid👍

[@nzmeateater]

Thanks 👍

[@tonyandsandrashaw8327]

Did your drone go around Te Wera bluffs.

[@nzmeateater]

Wheres that?

[@tonyandsandrashaw8327]

Not sure which catchment it is in,the last time I was at Koanui hut was March 1968.Have you been up the Kotepato for a hunt.

[@nzmeateater]

@@tonyandsandrashaw8327 Yea been in the Kotepato a few times, Im thinking the bluffs maybe south of the Moanui/Kahunui?

[@tonyandsandrashaw8327]

@@nzmeateater You might be right there. I built the Kotepato hut in January 68 there was a tent fly there before.

[@tonyandsandrashaw8327]

Shot a lot of animals up the Kotepato.

[@richardsearle1947]

What's the string across the camp site for?

[@nzmeateater]

Its the antenna for the ssb radio that I talk to my wife with.

[@tjm3599]

The huts have fireplaces in them. just not aloud to cut down living trees
