    hunting partner wanted

    I'm in Cambridge and I'm after a reliable hunting bud (and I'm not talking about any of that "Broke back mountain" stuff!!) I have got all my own gear, I'm safe and reliable and Im free most weekends but I just don't like wondering around in the bush on my own. So if your sensible safe and reliable give me a shout, I was planning a walk up the Kaimai's tomorrow if you fancy it?

    Do you not like hunting on your own because you don't have much experience or is it that you prefer a bit of company?

    I've been hunting for years in the UK and for the last 12 years while visiting over here, I'm now living here permanently. I'm definitely no newbe to hunting I used to be out at least once a week, but I just prefer to go with someone else in case I fall and smash my head or something and its always good to share the experience with someone ( the wife is never that interested!). I'm happy to share any meat with whoever comes along too.

    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

    Yeh good thanks but far to busy. Haven't been bush at all this year. Hardly done any shooting either.

    Cheers for the offer I really appreciate it, but unfortunately my wife is working so I will be maning the kids. Give me a shout when your next planning a trip and you fancy some company though.

    Thanks again

    hi Hawkfish

    I'm new to hunting and would be keen to come along for a walk with you at some stage

    I'm a keen fisherman and diver so have some "outdooor" experience and am also safe and sensible.

    I'm over in Papamoa so meeting in the Kaimais would work

    PM me if you are keen
