Thread: Greymouth area

Hi all,
My name is Jack and I'm from Australia. My brother and I came over this year for a sika hunt and fell in love with New Zealand and are dead set keen on coming back If we can avoid being castrated by our missus for another hunting trip (I'd even consider moving over if I didn't have the ball and chain). We did a guided hunt but are really keen on doing it without one this time. We're planning on doing it with our mate so between the three of us we've been trying to decide on somewhere to go. We're looking at coming over in march around the time in start of the roar. In Victoria over here in aus we aren't really spoilt for game and none of us have even seen a wild pig or goat before so if we could go somewhere where we're likely to find some it'd be great but the main thing we'd be looking for are either red skins or chamois or tahr. Does anyone have any suggestions where to go for this in the greymouth area or anywhere in the south island for that matter? Any help would be very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Jack

You have come to the right forum Jack, someone from the south will help, beaut place to hunt there.

Post abit and contribute and Im sure one of the six fingered banjo players will help you out once we all get to know you

Cheers lads, I'll try to get involved looks like a good forum so far, yeh haven't done south island yet but I hear it's even nicer than the north so be good to see if that's possible

Yep thats why its called the "mainland"

Jack I just said hi to you in the "introductions" forum and bugger me there you are on the next thread I enter. Mate you will need a visa for the west coast. They love drinking beer and someone has to pay so you are it.

I've heard a lot about Nelson in the old hunting books we've got written by NZ blokes, living in the lucky country there mate! That's alright rushy Reckon I might be able to show those blokes a thing or two!
