Thread: NZDA.

I joined 3 yrs ago in Auckland. Large branch, lot happening. Hunts course was excellent. Some really good one off evenings, one on Sika, another on dressing/butchering game. Really it was up to me what I got out of it. Now in Taranaki, been to couple of events, range and clubrooms. Friendly enough. Again, what I get out if it is going to be up to me. Main thing I'm looking for is to team up with a compatible hunting companion or two. That is, from my early life 25yrs of fly-fishing experience, a difficult ask, and may never eventuate. I had a good fishing nate for 10 yrs, quite a lot older than me, but then he remarried and grew old, I moved to different parts and it all came adrift. Life happens. NZDA is one place you might meet some one or two who become good hunting/shooting mates. You might not either. But its a place you can invest in so others might and so our sport is furthered and continues.
