Thread: American Hunter Needing Advice

You'll be fine mate. Get fit, bring good gear, set realistic goals and just be happy to experience our wilderness. That's what hunting's all about. Thousands come to NZ to walk our great walks, and while hunting is off the beaten track so to speak, many of those tracks are in some pretty rugged country and many come woefully unprepared. The vast majority survive ok!. You'll be more prepared than 90% of them! Get involved on here and no doubt you'll get a chance to meet a member or two and possibly tag along for a hunt. I'm happy to take you out, if it fits in with my calendar.

An old thread but...I have moved over here for a couple of years (nearly at an end ) mainly for the hunting and spend most of my spare time doing it. Daunting at first but as above, doing plenty of research, having decent gear and fitness makes all the difference. NZ is an amazing country to explore both hunting and non-hunting. I hunted the area you first mentioned earlier this year and would be happy to help out where possible with your planning process - pm sent

Try mount Thomas or if you have any experience with mountaineering then Arthur's pass.
