Thread: Better Hunting - free online NZ hunter training programme by the Game Animal Council

Hey folks. I posted a while back asking for interest to review the big hunter training platform the Game Animal Council have been working on - 'Better Hunting'. We got heaps of interest and ironed out a few more bugs - and now we're live!

I thought I'd get in first before someone creates a 'what muppet made this rubbish?' thread and say I am that muppet (with considerable help and input from the pros). I'm pretty new myself which was a useful perspective for the Essentials courses currently available. I worked closely with NZDA HUNTS instructors, professional hunters and firearms instructors and heaps of other people who's job this stuff is to 'get my dumb questions' answered, but there's bound to be a few bits and pieces others will notice or question now we've gone public. And things we haven't touched on or thought of at all!

I have found this forum extremely useful myself and linked it around the place on the platform. I think this community and the knowledge base it creates is awesome. If any of you want to have a look, please get into it and send in feedback, future ideas etc. etc. I'll be fixing, clarifying, tidying things up, improving usability etc. as wider feedback comes in through more usage. Obviously that relies on people telling me things. Better Hunting (and the GAC) are FOR hunters so if you're not happy or want something, say so!

Here's an official press release

Check out Better Hunting at https://betterhunting.nz and I'd love to hear what you think (either here or through the feedback functions on Better Hunting).
