I believe part of the issue for NZDA and indeed any place/club or even forum for that matter when trying to keep new members is how wary many folks,and yes Im definately guilty myself,are of newbies who arrive pick brains then bugger off never to be seen again.
I know personally of a fella who went on old furum picked brains got some great info,shot two RIPPER stags,both would go close to 350DS and then left forum never to be heard from again..he even went so far as to say he was amazed folks gave him such good info..I went out of my way to help him and cured him of flinch by taking him out to shoot targets etc and built his confidence back up.gave him some decoys too..found them shot up in bottom of pond at later date.
once bitten twice shy sort of thing,the respect of another fellas prime hunting areas just isnt there anymore with some folks.
the same with folks who snapped up heaps of stuff on the give away/pass on thread..then never even bothered to post photo of them in use.... probably onsold via facebook in some cases
but there are good folks around who are genuine....this fella strikes me as one of them...enjoy your venison,and give that dog a pat,looks not to sure about he spikey headgear LOL.
