Bloody whinging poms invading.... (I'm still allowed to say it since I still have 2 passports right?!)

Welcome, nothing wrong with a yarn over a dram or 4 on a cold night!

Sounds like you are getting some experience with new Zealand's bush which is often under estimated by new hunters.

I'm building towards bigger game but at the moment I don't have the freezer space or a safe place to store firearms as responsibly as I would like, I want to buy my own property before getting my A Cat. If the chance to hunt goats comes up I'm proficient with my bow.
But I also want to take my time and learn how to hunt big game properly so I've been out at dawn having a look around the tops for sign, improving my fitness and quiet in the bush, reading etc. Just being out there is great.

I basically don't want to be an "all the gear, no idear" or "weekend warrior" type. I want to be a knowledgeable, ethical and proficient hunter.
Until I get all my ducks in a row I figure rabbits are pretty much just tiny deer, right?
