General information
This block takes in the slopes of the McKerrow Range that face west above the Haast Highway (SH6), between Pipson Creek at Makarora township and Muddy Creek just south of Cameron Flat. The entire block is steep beech/tawhai forest and tussock slopes with deeply cut creeks, except for gentler slopes in lower reaches of Muddy Creek.
This block is balloted for the ROAR period during the months of March and April.
Access
Access is from the Haast Highway (SH6). At Sawmill Flat and further north the road borders the hunting block boundary. You can also access the block from the Mt Shrimpton Track where it follows Pipson Creek. The track itself is not part of the hunting block and you must be at least 100 m away from it when hunting.
