Where you will hunt

Territory

Its fair to say I know our hunting block, Mt Maude, like the back of my hand, well enough to refer to it as “my Maude”. With a main 4WD track leading to the summit of Little Mt Maude (845m), we favour hunting Maude from the top down and make good use of the leading ridges as well as an extensive network of hunting tracks cut to follow existing game trails and contours. It’s tough, honest mountain hunting terrain made easier by the extensive knowledge of our guide team, the track network, and the balance between open grasslands and native manuka and kanuka brush country. Plenty of cover, plenty of feed and well managed hunting help provide outstanding hunting opportunities.
