Thread: Learning to Hunt, the Hard Way.

Did you not do think about doing the NZDA HUNTs course? - CHCH has a good programme.
it may help to embed technical skills now that you have developed the mindset.

Strikes a chord @Average-Lad. Thanks for telling your story. I srrived in NZ as a 9 year old. None of my family were fisherman or hunters. I seriously didn't know Jack but started wandering the Ureweras in the mid 70's anyway. In the early 80's circumstances led to a friendship with a very capable guy. He's a current forum member, somewhat older and grizzlier than me. Just through watching and listening I learnt volumes. Very fortunate. As for fishing, that was my brother in law in the early 90's. There's some good buggers out there!

Very interesting to hear how many people have started in a similar way!

I found it tough going until it all clicked and now I'm seeing deer on every hunt and successful on about 2 out of 3 hunts.

Expressed interest a few times but never got any response.
