What you can hunt here
This is a roar — the red deer roar peaks from late March into April, and competition for the block is highest then.
Access & getting there
Helicopter access is permitted on the block, so a fly-in or fly-camp is an option for parties willing to organise an operator. WARO is not permitted on this block, which tends to keep it quieter than country open to commercial heli operations.
There are no DOC huts inside the block, but 3 DOC campsites are recorded for fly-camp or walk-in parties.
