Thread: Anyone Else Hunted with Outdoor HQ (formerly Hunting HQ)?

It has merit in my opinon, I have not hunted with them but.
You have to complete some basic OSH type stuff and you get insurance cover for yourself and more importantly the land owner.
Without this Joe public such as myself who does not live close to landowners with deer would never get a look in.

Its easy to get your nose out of joint if you happen to live ruraly or know people who you have built a trust up wih and will give you acccess to their land.

And yes I have experianced the frustration of a property that I used to hunt on 1-2x a year being listed with HQ and now being booked out or having the game shift. However thats not HQ's fault, thats more to do with the landowner (and DOC with green rain), In the end deer are a pest on most farms.

So for me If I wanted to do a weekend hunt with a high likehood of success in diferant places around NZ it works.
Like I said at the start not all of us live close to good hunting opertunities or have the contacts. When you are not in a position to do regular trips into a location to build up a feel for where the game is at differant times of the year something like HQ works and makes sense.
Ie many people in our main cities who no longer have rural contacts.

PS, you want to grow our sport, this is a good entry point for many.
