Any info on where to begin would be great. I'm based in Waihi now. Cheers! Tom.

    Hey Neckshot, I grew up in Kaikohe, also Panguru and Kohukohu in the hokianga. Those xbox's will be partly funding my exploits possumer! Haha so getting rid of them is in the pipeline!

    A good move in my humble opinion would be to get in touch with local deerstalkers in paeroa. They run the anual "Hunts" course which will have you running around the hills in no time.

    Should find contacts here; Homepage

    They are down morrisons rd

    Whoops! Sorry Mucko, I didnt open your link so didnt realise I was double posting.

    Try rd1 or farmlands for a safe they often do some pretty sharp deals this time of year

    What are you weekends off like could tee up a day for you to bring the family down to the farm. we can hit some gongs and paper for the day and then go for a bunny shoot in the evening.
