Thread: Help a newbie out?

Hi everyone.

This is my first time posting here so please forgive me if i put this in the wrong area and ask potentially silly questions but here i go.

I'm a Wellington based young person who is looking to get into hunting, I'm a chef and during my time working as one my interest in hunting has grown alot.
only problem is i don't know where to start, are there any clubs or groups in Wellington that take newbies such as myself? i am a scout leader and have alot of bush experience but i have never done anything like this.


thankyou

You can join the Wellington Branch of the NZDA.

New Zealand Deerstalkers' Association - Promoting safe and responsible deer hunting, wildlife photography and the outdoors since 1937.

Complete their Hunts course.

Join them on a couple of organised Hunts, meet some like minded people and you'll be away.

Hope this helps

Cheers
Pete

Dougie will be banging on your door You'll get plenty of help here Angus

yeah mate stick with this forum and before you know it youll have your deer gutting and deer shooting badges and soon enough youll have your deer carrying and piss talking/taking badges two mate good luck..seriously though this is the rite place to be for what you want to acheive!.

Welcome aboard the forum Angus. Dundee is right in what he says. Dougie is probably on her bike and coming around to see you as we speak.

You guys should pay me for being the NZHS Wellington Regional Rep!!!!

Hey thanks guys for being so nice so who do i get in touch with? SUPER keen to become a part of this wonderful community.

Just hang around here long enough Angus and people will start making offers goodlot around here. I'm a keen as mustard noob too. There are a few Wellington dudes on here with a lot of experience. Are you in town or the burbs? Sweet that you're involved in scouts too. I run the Wellington City Cadet Unit. Are your scouts just down the road from us?

I help run the britannia sea scout troupe, there are a couple of us leaders but im probably the most regular these days (they are getting pretty old) i live in town, about 5 minutes away from the cbd...not the cheapest location for someone my age but well situated nonetheless

Are you 12 years old or something?! Rent isn't too bad, but I guess that depends how good a chef you are!

Sweet dude, good to see people getting out there and giving back to the community

hahaha! I can assure you my cookery is up to scratch, I will certainly stick around,

OK Dougie, I got your back. Angus you should meet up with Dougie (and probably the dog coz he is joined at the hip) and talk hunting. Dougie is well connected down there.

okay sounds good ...how would i go about doing that?

there is afew of us in wellington now !!!

Angus, you can private message people if you wanted to arrange something, or just post in the thread here and im sure Dougie will get back to you...

Or any of the other members who might be keen to help you out

Awesome, thanks.
