Anyone willing to give a guided hunt in the Ruahine?

Hey guys,
I have been hunting small game for a couple of years now, and would love to have a guided hunt around the Ruahine area. I would like to go out with some friends/family, but they are neither experienced nor interested in hunting deer. My girlfriend wanted to give me a guided hunt as a present for my birthday, but after looking at some options on Trademe, they are either too expensive or not really what I am after e.g going into a paddock and shooting a deer. I would love to learn how to hunt, especially from an experienced huntsman and I’d appreciate anything that could be offered.
Being a tertiary student we aren’t cash strapped, but please let me know your price for taking me out hunting. It only needs to be one day e.g go in the morning come back in avro.. I am free around late Oct period, around 25th-1st November.
Cheers,
Nick

Thought it would be part of the guided package when he was suggested anyway.
You get a discount for being mummy😆

You will probably get some good bugger take you out for nothing but a beer and a pie.

Apart from a few professional guides I know, you will likely learn more going onto public land with a person that hunts for the table anyway.

join your local nzda and do their hunts course

haha, Thanks mate. Can always fork out for a beer and a pie!
Yep, it would be great to go out hunting on public land and learn a thing or two.

Yeah mate drop me a pm and well exchange numbers.
Your welcome to tag along for no charge anytime you want.
Don't expect animals every time.
Do expect to get beaten to bits in leatherwood and supple jack
And do expect a few laughs[emoji3]

@scoped Thanks for the suggestion mate. Thats something id like to next year when i'm back in the Manawatu permanently (in Wellington at the moment). My partner wanted me to go out hunting for my birthday so I just thought Id pass it across this forum!

even after a hunts course you will likely need some guidance as it I'd a basics stepping stone. Sometimes one on one action (settle boys) is way more effective. Don't get me wrong if you can afford the course then do it to top up what ya don't know.

On a side note I am happy to help also. I don't live in the area but happen to spend some time up there lol maybe in conjunction with @BRADS ??

Buy him three pies. Two for him and one for the lab

I spent quiet a few years learning how to hunt from books etc. it was not until someone took me by the hand did any of what I had self taught actually fall into place and I was able to understand what I had been reading. That first real hunt didn't put a meal on the table but did set me up for success and enjoyable hunting there after.
Hang in there Nick

A hunting mentor is a valuable thing. Even for folk with experience. I'd be keen to tag along to pick up the kiwi bush skills I've still to learn. Hunting is much more rewarding as a team activity.
