Thread: Hello All

Hey guys, last weekend I got out for a hunt with AndrewH, Rushy and Phillipgr and heard a lot about the forum.

My name is Bryce.



I am a mad keen hunter who enjoys going on adventures, into Nature and getting the opportunity to enjoy the resources which we have in NZ.



I am a firm believer that the city life is detached from the reality of what the state of nature is. Life,death & where our pretty packaged meat in the butchers comes from (I.e involves an animal giving its life).
Getting out into the bush really brings this home to me and helps me to get perspective when things don't go to plan in the monetary/city world etc



I have had the pleasure of being born and growing up in Nz. I am now 24 years old and got my first deer rifle from my 3 brothers family and friends for my 21st birthday... The best present I have ever received.

I have had the privilege of being taught the basics of hunting by a work colleague and friend who is very experienced in hunting Doc land and after 18 months shot my first deer. Now I have dropped in excess of 10 & 2 of them shot side by side in DoC land March last year.

Primarily my hunting experiences have been in the Ruapehu, Kaimanawha, kaipara, and tongariro areas.

There is possibly the opportunity for me to head to Fiordland for the roar this year providing it is a priority at the time.

Currently working on to following projects:
1-Constructing and testing slower, heavier and round nose projectiles from my suppressed 7mm -08win for up to 100m shooting-counter to the hit 'em hard and fast mindset.
2-Planning my first OE to get out of NZ, to cut loose from the corporate world and enjoy some hunting /make new friends all over the world.
3-Creating some Sub-sonic rounds with trail boss powder for snotting Possums with my new suppressed 7mm-08
4-getting my 21st present suppressed .243win to under 1 inch at 200m.

Any advice would be appreciated from the community...
Thanks All!
