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.
No DOC huts or campsites are recorded inside the block. Most parties will be day-hunting from a vehicle base, with fly-camping the alternative for longer trips.
