Looking for Hunting Partner

Hello everyone,

Im down from Canada and have been living in Whangarei for the last few months. I unfortunately havent had the chance to do any hunting up North but now Im down on the South Island for a few weeks and would be keen to get out for a hunt. Im currently driving around fly fishing and hiking in the back country around Arthurs Pass but will be driving all around the island depending on weather and what Im doing.

If anyone on the South Island is going to be doing any hunts in the next few weeks and would like to hang out with some random Canadian dude shoot me an email!

Cheers

P.S. I come with beer and whisky ;)

Expat Canuck here. However I consider myself a Kiwi now and proud to be one. Lived here 38 yrs. I am still a huge Hockey (Love it more than Rugby) and more importantly a Leaf fan and watch every game I can.

Send me a pm if you get a chance.
I make a living in the outdoors and am pretty busy till mid winter. However happy to point you in the right direction or if I have time keen for a walk myself.
I live and work mostly on the West Coast. Have good private land access for a handy deer or chamois.

If you have Canadian whiskey (Crown Royal, Alberta Rye being my favs) I may be able to overlook any faults you may have if you're not a Leafs fan. [emoji16][emoji106]

WELL MATE!!!......disagree on the rugby comment,but the Hockey,I love that shit...[I] have tickets to the Ducks and Kings on Sunday....go to as many live games that I can......not sure if many of us kiwis have been to live hockey games in the US/Canada,.....but the rivalries are as intense as any top footy match.....blue jackets/penguins last night was a beauty (as well as the mighty canes sorting the highlanders).......GO THE DUCKS..(my team)...how could you lose to the Canucks?????
@R93..have you watched that commercial about the birth of a Canadian?....funniest shit I ve seen in a long time...

Funny shit right there mate

Shutup!!! I am still sore from that loss.
Still only 2 pts out of second in the league tho.
How are the quacks doing?

We will get beaten by the bruins in the first round again this year. Next year we will go close. Year after that we will win it all. Team is too young still. No grit. All flashy skills.
Still. Better than those Ducks.
Thanks for posting the link to that ad.
Never seen it before[emoji106]

Glad you liked the ad...funny shit.We have the Winterhawks here in Portland,minor league boys,but bloody awesome to watch,[I] have season tickets,....great stuff from the young fellas.Have tickets to the Sabre/senators game on 26/3,as well as Ill be up that way on a trip......Only real sport I watch over here,Hockey fans are fucking nutcases,a lot of fun to be around.......always love the yank/canadien match ups...pure grudge matches...awesome stuff

@93.....when I get back Ill post a photo of my New Zealand Hockey Jersey I wear to all the games,had a shitload of hockey people wanting to buy it,The NZ ice hockey fed had a fundraiser years ago for funds,I put a bid in and was lucky enough to get one,prized possession let me tell you.

I wear it to all the games,people always ask me if its for real,do we in kiwi even know what ice hockey is etc.....good for beers and a chinwaggle......its amazing to see how canucks are in kiwi who run the ice hockey programme,.....bloody good stuff

NB....cant skate for shit,but then again not terrible either..

I got the first hockey goal (in the world) at year 2000. we dropped the puck midnight and since nz is ahead of everywhere else on time zones it was goal #1

I used to be able to skate better than I could walk.... Some would say that's not hard after seeing me walk.

Haven't laced up a pair of skates since 1980. I still have them in the attic tho.
Hockey will always be my No1 sport.
Fastest team sport in the world and every bit as hard as any contact sport in the skill and grit requirements.
It was all I knew for sport growing up there. If you took an interest in anything else, your sexuality was questioned.


Malc, if you ever meet Mike Babcock talk hunting with him and then drop him my email.[emoji16]
He is a mad keen hunter. Would be awesome to pick his brains on a hunt in NZ or Canada.

Anyway the OP must be out and about.
Hasn't followed up his post.
Hope he is a hockey fan at least[emoji16]

I think I know what you're implying but no. I was a goalie for my last 5 years playing.
Got good at poke checking, slashing and flopping around the crease tho[emoji16]

I can see you being good at flopping

@93...here’s she is mate...gets me a few tinnies at the hockey games....GO DUCKS!!!!
Ive been known to tell a few shelias (under the influence)that I tried out for the team and just missed out..lol

@A330driver
Our daughter is a mad keen hockey fan (ice variety) and baseball.
I think she was 'infected' while living in Boston for a few months, some years ago.
She was a Red Sox fan, but I believe her allegiances have shifted elsewhere.
She is a pretty avid Golden Knights fan, but watches any live feed NHL games in Perth, Western Australa.
We stayed with her for a while recently - we're asleep and suddenly loud shouts erupt from the lounge.
Her hockey buddies come over and watch as well.
She plays baseball and ice hockey (not top level) and absolutely loves it.
And injuries to prove.
She just got approval from the ice hockey body in Perth to go to the next higher level - better skills/technical knowledge.
At 43 years old and single, we're hoping she'll settle down - eventually, but unlikely as long as she can hit a baseball and run, catch and field - or body check and score goals, we don't think it'll happen soon.

Lol ..that’s bloody awesome mate..great story......rugby all the way for me,I get home often so its a easy to watch the Hurricanes,and ESPNplus plays every game .The ice hockey,its the only thing over here I really like,the bassturds are crazy,hockey people are like rugby people,good shits indeed.....

I liked your daughter till you said she was a Vegas fan [emoji16]

I have NHL TV. Of all the dumb shit I spend money on it is what makes me happiest.
I can catch a game whenever I want.
Only missed one Leafs game this season coz I was bush and seen the result come up on my phone.

Can't wait till the post season starts. I don't have high hopes this year but the next 2 could have me flying to Toronto on the drop of a hat.

I have to admit the Nights getting to the SCF in their first year was nothing short of amazing considering how they were built.
Don't think they will fool anyone this year tho. Ducks? Pffft.

Tampa or Washington this year.
Pens could destroy a few teams if they make it.
I loath the Bruins so won't give them any credit even tho they're pretty good.

The new Playoff format sucks balls.
It is a horrendous screw up.

I am an expat Nuck mate. I could never support a US based team even tho they're full of Canadians.

I am now chuckling that maybe only a handful on here will get the Axl Foley comment. [emoji16]

Yeah mate... I got it... u maybe ex Canuck .. but you’ve finessed the kiwi humour just fine

2 years ago u couldn’t find a Canuck team in the playoffs,they are doing just fine now,I get the yank/Canuck thing,it’s just like the Kiwi/ oz thing... I’m neutral but I love to jibe the yanks how good the canucks are,and I spend a lot of time in Canada and always have a bloody good time with them.

To be honest mate,it’s all good,the game itself I have learned to love .... something we never had in Kiwi when I was a young fella,when the season comes around and the SIR STANLEY Cup is up for grabs,it’s a beautiful thing,bloody awesome.....,the these blokes are artists,the skill,the sport,everything about it.... I so enjoy going to live games,until you’ve been to one,u don’t know what you’ve been missing.My hat is off to these jokers,such a skilled sport if there ever was one.....,GO DUCKS.... Go KNIGHTS!!!!....

NB... knights shirt on its way... super XL ... so it fits over that big mug of yours... lol

Lol[emoji16]

Yup I am pretty jealous you get to go pretty regularly.

My last NHL game was 1979 in Buffalo.
Leafs vs Sabres.

If able I am planning to fly to Toronto mid October to catch a couple games after the hunting season. Want the wife to come over and see a game live but I might have to stay on in the states for a bit. Your not too far from Montana eh? I could let you shout me to a knights game and I can wear my Leafs jersey[emoji16]

2019/20 schedule might even have the Leafs in Vancouver then so I might save some money and get to see a game with my brother.

@Smiddy .....I’m honored and bloody impressed mate....yours,you earned,mine,bought at an Auction to help raise funds for Ice hockey NZ
Small world sometimes,thanks for sharing........and bloody well done,quite the accolade!!!!!!

A lot of people stop and ask me about the ICE BLACKS and kiwi. Ice hockey,I certainly don’t do it any justice as it never was my forte,I’m probably the worst person to be even trying to represent kiwi hockey,,I certainly don’t try to even think I know anything about it ,but the jersey attracts a lot of comments,and people trying to swap and buy it.......I’d have to be dead to give it up mate.

Kudo,s to you and your skills,not sure many here understand how disciplined the sport is,you were obviously bloody good at it....chur

Mate,......there’s always a bed and a beer(waikato) here for you and the lovely misses......SEATTLE is getting a NHL hockey team,not sure when..if you make it to Portland,it’ll have to be the WINTERHAWKS, minor league team,but they are awesome......flew for Horizon airlines for 10 years,spent a lot of it in Montana ,know the place well.....

More than happy to meet you in Las Vegas and shout you a game....the knights have become so popular even the locals cant get tickets,they are a big item ticket for the Vegas visiting crowd....

Awesome[emoji106] did you trap left or right?
I am right handed and trapped with my right.

Ha I didn't notice that collection when I picked up the parcel for you the other day.

To make a NZ side as a tender is a huge achievement as you would have had to have been at least top 2 or 3 in the country. Good stuff[emoji106]
