Thread: New to Chch, looking for hunting buddies

Hey everyone, I have recently moved to Christchurch, originally from the west coast, 30 year old rope access driller.

Just got my firearms licence and am keen to get out into the bush for a walk, I have done a bit of deer and pig hunting with friends and family so am not a complete kook with a rifle but I am keen to meet up with anyone that likes to head out for a hunt on a regular basis. I am keen to learn what works and what doesn't in the area but certainly don't expect to be taken to your favourite spots.
I will be joining the NZDA once I have purchased a rifle, and will be heading out to the firing range a fair bit to get used to the rifle before heading out for a hunt with it.
I am looking at buying a .308 so if you have or know of anyone selling a rifle with a reasonable scope with a $1000 limit drop me a line also.

So if there is anyone out there thats happy for a newbie to tag along and absorb some hunting wisdom drop me a message.

Cheers
Strider
