Even better if your local branch runs a HUNTS course.
Buy a Spot X Hunting book, pick a spot and beat the feet...
Alternatively as previously suggested you could look into payed hunting access etc, in which case Kaipara/Muriwai Fallow would probably be your closest bet I imagine

Yep I agree, it cant hurt to get reaquainted with the NZ terrain and meet some other people along the way, who I may even be able to offer some help, which is always a good way to both be a better person and make good friends, by helping others.

The meat hunts, whilst cheaper than paying retail are quite exy, even though I understand why, I thought it meant you pay for access to a block, not for a guide etc. All the same, with red meat being eaten less in a week in our house, a solid Red will last a long time.

Will find a Spot X book, is there a particular edition that is best? I have already found a number of spots that Im semi familiar with, but as you say, beat the feet, if merely for scouting and getting hiking fitness back up is a great way to go. So many options, thanks for the tips.
