About this hunting block
Animals present are red deer and chamois in low numbers.
General information
This block gives access to the McKerrow Range, taking in the Boundary Creek catchment as well as some of the upper slopes overlooking the head of Lake Wānaka.
The vegetation is mainly tussockland and scrub, with some mānuka/kānuka forest lower down the valley, and silver beech/tahina further up above the flats.
This block is balloted for the roar period during the months of March and April.
Access
Opposite the Boundary Creek campsite on the Haast Highway (SH6), 7 km southeast of Makarora, a sign marks the start of a 4WD farm road. This winds it way up the spur on the true right of Boundary Creek.
This track crosses pastoral lease land and you need landholder permission for hunting access. Once you have permission, firearms must be carried unloaded.
Foot access does not require permission.
At about the 840 m contour there is a junction marked by a sign; turn right onto a track which sidles into the valley. A few hundred metres beyond the junction there is a strip of beech/tawhai forest; the hunting block begins on the other side.
