    Good day, one and all

    I began hunting about four years ago with my first fallow hind shot on private property a little north of Auckland. Since then, I've shot several more and learnt how to skin and tan the hides. My butchery skills are a work in progress, as is skinning the head of a deer possessed of antlers worth preserving. I'm a member of the NZDA and have been on a couple of party hunts (Te Urewera, Lake Tarawera, Pureora Forest). The fellowship of these events has been easily the more enjoyable aspect, as I've yet to shoot a deer or pig on public land. I'm currently looking to increase my small armoury with a rifle chambered in 7x57 or 6.5x55, but these calibres are not popular in NZ - popular in the sense of being readily available. The collective intelligence of the different fora I've sampled here point to an enjoyably instructive membership.

    I'd guess not enough posts yet. A few days of browsing on here and you should be fine

    You need your post count to be over a certain number before you are allowed access. keep posting and you'll get there.
