Thread: New hunter

Hi there. I'm 14 days old with a shiny new card in my new gun safe.
Moved to the Wairarapa 2 years ago and loving the easy access to quality trout rivers.
Now I'm turning to the hills, where I see opportunities for 'free' meat, if i can just get up there.
I'm joined by my excellent wife (applying to be born) who recently suggested for my 50th birthday we go on a helicopter insert guided hunting trip. I asked 'what target species? Tahr?' When told what that is said 'if I'm paying for a trip I want there to be lots of meat at the end of it'.
So you get the picture. In it to bring home the bacon with a wife who is keen to get out there too as long as we don't get killed doing it. Lots of blaze orange and pink in my future!

I'll be getting a Mauser M18 or a Sauer 100 in 6.5c/m for us to share. I have already been lurking on forums looking for advice so figured I'd better sign up.

Look for me at the Upper Hutt deerstalkers sometime. I'll be signing up soon.
