Thread: Late intro from Taranaki

Been on the forum since 2019 but never introduced myself. Like deer but live in the 'Naki where its almost all goats and pigs. Always open to suggestions for deer spots in Taranaki. Already met a couple of forum members, thanks guys made me feel very welcome. Stronger together!

Welcome. How far from NP are you? Interested in NZDA? Member?

Well, consider this a late welcome to the forum then

Welcome aboard there are a few of us from the Naki.
Plenty of fallow in Taranaki but I mainly hunt the Ruahines.
Have a think about joining the Nth Taranaki NZDA

seems a few now in Naki we should have a get together one day

Years ago I organised a get together of forum guys here in Taranaki. Actually I think it was the now-defunct old forum.

Probably 25 people showed up.

Someone wants to organise something I would likely attend.

Yes, now I look at the OP post date, but @nakikiwi is still active on the forum but not enough posts to PM it appears. Maybe we can change that...

Go the Naki!

On a fine day we could organize a bit of a barbie and a privatr shoot, 100, 200 and 300m mounds,

do you have range BBQ tents stay over to avoid the cops sounds better by the minute me keen

Welcome to the Forum, especially since you are from the Naki.

Im happy to do a bit of organizing if its held after mid November. I will make some enquiries as to legal matters but know that while there are marked distances, a place to put targets and a great backstop this is not a working range...I.e. not used as a range nor certified as such. So basically it would be a small group of folk meeting for a few "balloon shots" or at gongs in a temporary (one day) setup, followed by a BBQ.

I dont know how the landowner would feel about overnighting but it's just a Paddock among some hills. No facilities. There may also be issues about securing firearms overnight and if alcohol is involved it all gets kind of difficult. I'd be happy to take PMs offline from those with specific knowledge who have organized similar events especially weekends. I have no prior experience of this. But I do know my way out of a paper bag lol.

If folk want to do it before mid November Im out sorry.

Welcome aboard.
