It is also fitted with the Helispecs spray system giving an ideal solution to accurate and cost effective placement of chemical.

For those hunters looking for a new location - The Puroera Forest Park has numerous options with generally an easy contour and beautiful podacarp forest, both Red Deer and Pigs are found throughout. We have access to a number of small clearings and huts, and being based right on the edge of the park allows easy access to your hunting area. A chiller back at the base is able to be utilised and we are more than happy to pick up an animal part way through your trip, if passing, to hang until you come out.
