    British Hunter/Shooter looking to work in exchange for accomodation

    Hello NZHS.

    My names Josh, I'm a British guy exploring NZ on my own

    I was wondering if anyone around the north Island (I can get a bus) would be interested in having me work on their farm/ranch/land etc in return for accommodation/food and the chance to do abit of shooting with you.

    I did this in the Australian Outback for two station holders (can provide references) so have basic skills with livestock, sheep, goats, fencing, general DIY. I can ride a motorbike. Shooting wise, been hunting for 10+ years, proficient with everything upto .308 - very safe and responsible shooter.

    This could be for a few days, a week, two weeks. I'm very open minded. Just thought I'd ask and see if anyone wanted a hand.

    Thanks all and a very Merry Christmas. Josh

    You would probably have a few people in north Canterbury looking for extra pairs of hands

    Good on ya Josh

    I'm sure someone may be able to help you out.

    Let us know if your passing through Hawkes Bay, might be able to help you out with a hunt at least.

    Cheers

    Welcome to the forum Josh. Good luck with the search.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    If you end up in Nelson I know a vineyard that offers accommodation in return for labour, Woofer style. He is a good bugger, hunts, fishes etc. too

    Hi Josh I'm in the U.K. Will ask my old man if he has any contacts that need a hand.
    He's just out of Morinsvllie.
