Conservation Area - No 3 Rd
Conservation Area - No 3 Rd is a 167 hectare public hunting block in the Tauranga Area permit zone, Bay of Plenty. Elevations run from 178 m up to 469 m, with a median of 289 m, so this is lowland foothill country sitting well below the bushline.
The block is bush-covered ground typical of the western Bay of Plenty hill country. Slopes lean north-east on the dominant aspect, giving warm faces and shaded gully systems for working in different wind conditions.
Game on the permit includes red deer, fallow deer, wild goat and wild pig. The four-species mix on a small block makes it a useful day-hunt option.

What you can hunt here
Access & getting there
There are no huts or campsites recorded inside the block, and No 3 Rd is not flagged for air access or WARO. Trips here will be foot-based from a vehicle access point on the surrounding road network.
Expect to be still-hunting in the bush rather than glassing — the country is too small and timbered for open spotting.
