Hi guys,
I browsed around a bit on the Forum, and instantly decided to join.
I am keen to learn from the forum in terms of the do's and don'ts of New Zealand hunting.

O, and I am right handed!
How long have you been in NZ for?
Don'ts.
Not sure on what you knowledge of NZ birds both Native and pests are.
To start with don't shoot any birds until you have someone identify them for you, especially if you are hunting in doc blocks. Chances are its a native bird and protected.
Do's
Enjoy our self, take lots of photos, share you stories with us.
Try tagging along with some locals and learn from them.
If hunting and using doc huts make sure there is enough firewood for the next person. Cut and bring in some next to the fire.
I have been in New Zealand for just over a year.
Thank you for the advise. Yes, the best way to learn is to tag along with the experienced guys. I am keen to maybe join the NZDA as well.
