Hello Gentlemen,
I am a semi-noob, 18 year old, hunter to be, ... hopefully! Waiting on my gun license to arrive in the post at the moment, which ive heard can be a lengthy process. I have
been reading/scanning through the forums to try and learn as much as I can before I start my hunting "career". Based in Auckland, so judging from my 'Spot x" hunting book,
i am a fair while away from any good hunting spots :( Hoping to pry as much information from the experienced hunters on here as I can though! :thumbsup:
I am not completely new to the idea of hunting as i originally came from South Africa (about 10 years ago), and I would go on hunting trips with dad as a young lad, but never
actually shot anything. Went back for a visit beginning of this year, and managed to get a trophy Springbok. But its a completely different style of hunting over there, as its pretty
much a case of jumping on the back of the ute (a special hilux with hunting seats and rests on the back), driving through the farmers property until u see something (flat as country),
stalking up to it, and then shooting it. So i do realize that NZ hunting is a much more challenging form of the sport! But I am very keen to get into it and learn the NZ way of hunting!
Any tips at all would be very much appreciated!
Cheers
Alwyn
