@MB, this is my nightmare, but also, I imagine, my fate. Like you, at 8 years old I was completely obsessed with fishing. Far more so than my father, uncles, or anyone else in the family. My dad was...

Hey all,

Just wanted to post an update. We finally made the trek and are now getting settled in Wellington. If anyone feels like meeting up, let me know.

Cheers!

Glad folks are enjoying the story. I was stuck at home cause the little one had his tonsils out yesterday, so I had some time to kill and I was messing around on the...

We got to high ground just as dawn began to shape the rocks. October in the minimalist sage scrub of Eastern Montana is a fickle season. It easily could have been ten degrees and snowing sideways,...

Turkey hunting in NZ is clearly very different from here in the states.

I personally LOVE turkey hunting, but we can only do so in a very short window and believe it or not, they get very wily and...

Thanks for all the helpful responses. I greatly appreciate it.
199p I will absolutely reach out if we end up in Wellington (our preference between the two, but we are not independently wealthy and...

Sadly, it's the same story where I live. Nice little mountain town that used to be relatively cheap. We've been "discovered" and now rents are comparable to what I see listed in the urban areas in NZ...

As foreigners, we can't buy property (a sound rule if you ask me), but it seems the rents in Auckland are bonkers too.

Many thanks for the info. I'll look into those groups if we end up in Wellington. I'd personally prefer to be on the South Island (spent a bit of time there some years back), but gotta go where the...

I'll see what I can do.

I've lived in Bozeman for the past two decades and hunted all over the state. Happy to provide some intel on Montana hunting if you need some. I don't have enough posts for a PM yet, but might get...

Greetings and salutations.

My wife was recently awarded a fellowship and our family is moving to NZ some time in late August or September. We're from the States, and I've called Montana home for...
