Warning to Southland hunters

From Lately, 10:18 pm on 5 April 2022

It's peak deer hunting season, otherwise known as the "roar," but it can be a dangerous time for hunters. 


Luckily a father and son who went missing in Fiordland on Saturday were found today.


However, just last week a tramper was found dead in the national park after searches in the Devil's Armchair area.


Southland hunters equate for the most injuries nationwide during the roar.
