Thread: New Hunter

Check out betterhunting.nz as well, it's free public-funded online hunter training - a good introduction to all the theory etc - as well as attending HUNTS. You've got a couple of years up your sleeve to build confidence before you take the kid out!

I'm still pretty novice myself but it's just getting out there, getting practice wandering off-track, learning an area - it gets easier every time. Your challenge may be finding the time away from young family as it's a big trade-off - but when I finally go bush for a morning I never regret it.
