Thread: Help a young hunter out - Taupo

Hi Yeti

I saw your post this morning and my first reaction was similar too others. My first piece of advice would be lose the bike. Your'e young and presumably fit ? If your not fit - get fit ! I mean walking up to 15-20 Km's in steep country with another 20-30kg on your back. Learn to live out of your pack. Team up with someone of a similar mindset and just get fuckin hard and fit. Dont comprimise on this. It may save your bacon.
Join NZDA and get out with more experienced guys. Dont get hung up on shooting animals, For me its about the whole experience in the bush. If your in Auckland Taupo's three hours. You might as well drive 5 and get into some real hunting e.g The Kaweka Ranges.
Post up some of your experiences on here. Ask a lot of questions. If you PM me and are literate and polite I will have some spots worth checking out.

Regards
