Thread: British Hunter/Shooter looking to work in exchange for accomodation

Hello NZHS.

My names Josh, I'm a British guy exploring NZ on my own

I was wondering if anyone around the north Island (I can get a bus) would be interested in having me work on their farm/ranch/land etc in return for accommodation/food and the chance to do abit of shooting with you.

I did this in the Australian Outback for two station holders (can provide references) so have basic skills with livestock, sheep, goats, fencing, general DIY. I can ride a motorbike. Shooting wise, been hunting for 10+ years, proficient with everything upto .308 - very safe and responsible shooter.

This could be for a few days, a week, two weeks. I'm very open minded. Just thought I'd ask and see if anyone wanted a hand.

Thanks all and a very Merry Christmas. Josh

You would probably have a few people in north Canterbury looking for extra pairs of hands

If you end up in Nelson I know a vineyard that offers accommodation in return for labour, Woofer style. He is a good bugger, hunts, fishes etc. too
