About this hunting block

Location

Located in the eastern Kaweka Forest Park, Kaweka Flats Bivouac is situated approximately 1 - 2 hours from the Makahu carpark.

Access

Deer are likely to be seen on the sub-alpine tops during early morning and late evening periods.

Day hunts are better focussed on the forested creek gullies that flow away from the adjoining open tops. Below the open tops, the higher terrain tends to be open scree slopes with pockets of steep mountain beech forest surrounded by open rocky areas and clay pans.

Hunters should be aware that this area also attracts reasonable numbers of day visitors and extreme care should be exercised when identifying your target.

Dogs

Only registered, avian aversion certified hunting dogs, guide dogs, companion dogs (certified by the Top Dog Companion Trust) and dogs used for special services (including conservation management activities) are permitted in the park. All other dogs are banned.
