Thread: Hello from indiana

I am a 38 year old hunter from the state of Indiana in the United States. I do backpacking hunts in the Rockies at least every other year so I have a little experience in the mountains alone. Im planning a trip to New Zealand in June of 2023 to do some hunting and sight seeing with the family for at least 3 weeks. A gentleman on Accuratereloading forum highly recomended I come here.

Plan is to hunt for the first week on the south island for Tahr (was planning DIY but the folks on Accuratereloading seemed to think that might not be a good idea?) then just drive around and site see for the remainder of the trip splitting out time after the hunt between the south and north island. I definitely plan on seeing some of the Lord of the Rings/Hobbit stuff!

Any recommendations would be very appriciated, from clothes and gear to outfitter if that's what's necessary. I will be traveling with my wife and two daughters age 13 and 9, so any recomendations for stuff they would enjoy as well!

If there is a better spot to put this let me know and I'll move it there.
