About this hunting block
Animals present are red deer and chamois, in low to moderate numbers.
General information
This block takes in the Tiel Creek catchment, the valley between the Young and the Wilkin Valleys. The vegetation is a mix of bracken, scrub, tussock, beech/tawhai forest and gravelly river flats.
This block is balloted for the ROAR period during the months of March and April.
Access
Access is from the road just south of White Creek, at the southern end of Makarora township. This road leads past the local tip to a ford, If the Makarora River is too high to cross safely, alternative options are a commercial jetboat (located nearby) or the Blue-Young Link Track, further north on the Haast Highway.
Once across the Makarora the land is pastoral lease and you need to contact the landholder for permission. About 300 m upstream from the Tiel/Makarora confluence an old sign indicates the start of an unmaintained, overgrown route up the true left of Tiel Creek.
