A hunter has died after being shot in the Kaimai Range.

Waikato Senior Sergeant Mike Henwood said the hunter was shot in forest near Wairakau Rd, about 10km to 15km south of Te Aroha.

An Auckland Westpac Rescue Helicopter had been sent to the scene.

A paramedic had been winched down to work on the man in the bush, which was about a two hour hike from the car park.

Henwood confirmed that the hunter had since died from his injury.

More soon.
