    Thought id introduce myself

    Hi guys, I’m a long time information reader from this site and was convinced by a fellow member Joel Henton to join up recently.
    I’m a keen hunter based in the Bay of Plenty and do most of my hunting locally here in the mighty Kaimais. I enjoy hunting and also shooting a few gongs in my spare time and loading my own ammo etc, I’m a father of 3 little ones and a beekeeper/honey packer for a a job so hunting time is slim but I still manage to get out abit. Looking forward to seeing more of what this site has to offer, and getting to know some of you.
    Cheers

    Welcome aboard
    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, a lot of us here are in or have been through the young kids and working too much stage in life. It does get easier to find time as they get older.

    Welcome Troy. Ex Katikati College, I believe? I hope the Kaimais are still producing the goods.

    That’s me! Do we know each other? I love the kaimais, plenty of fun to be had on my back doorstep. They are a great place to go, I still hate supple jack but

    Haha I’ve heard that too. Unfortunately for me I’ve been beekeeping for 16 years and have zero access from it. I know where plenty of deer are in just not aloud to hunt them! All public land for me
