About LinkBacksOver the last couple of years I have read a lot of the threads on this forum but have only just registered.
I am starting to find a bit more time to get out into the bush/mountains and I'm really keen to get into hunting, especially deer, hence why I'm here, to learn the ropes!
I moved to NZ about 5 years ago and currently live in Auckland (planning to move further South in the next few years). Previously I lived in Scotland and done quite a bit of pest control with shotguns and PCP air rifles, mostly rabbits, pigeon, pheasant etc and managed 1 Roe deer in that time.
I have a number of firearms, my mainstay is a Tikka T3x Superlight in .308 with a Nightforce 4-14 SHV and DPT suppressor.
So that's me in a nutshell, expect lots of questions from me over the coming weeks/months/years...
Cheers,
Mark.

Welcome.
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

Welcome Mark
I assume from the other thread you are currently posted at Whenuapai?
Living out West immediately demonstrates refined taste regardless of how you got there.

Cheers guys. Yeah, Whenuapai for now, but hoping for a posting to Woodbourne within the next 2 years, fingers crossed!
