Hunting Club

Good morning all.

I'm a teacher at a Waikato High School. Every year I run a year 10 Hunting camp during camp week in the last week of term in early December.
I take 8 students and a similar number of experienced adults to take them out.
There is always a lot of interest and this year the camp filled up in less than a day. A lot of kids missed out.
It got me thinking about setting up a hunting club at school.
I'm just putting the feelers out at this stage but are there any among you who have access to private land where we could take out small groups of students hunting.
Small game, Goats, Pigs and Deer.
We would cater to a whole range of experience levels, from beginners to hunting since they could walk.
If you have a property that has rabbits and Hares but nothing bigger that would be all good. Especially for the less experienced ones still learning to shoot.
Ideally it would be somewhere in the Central North Island.
Anyway, if you have a place or know someone who I should get in touch with, send me a pm.

Cheers

A great idea that ought to be supported.

The Head of PE at Tauhara College (Taupo) runs a fantastic outdoors/hunting program and takes the pupils on organised hunts.

He is a top bloke and Im sure that he would be be very helpful if you contact him.

Is that Hairy?

Requests like that make me wish I had a thousand acres somewhere. I'd be all over that kind of oportunity for the young ones.

I hope you can find a block, Chur...


Go that man!

Cheers mate:cool:
Hopefully I can get something going.

had a uncle that used to teach at huntly he used to take kids to the pureora all the time he was mad keen on getting them out amongst it all

Cheers.

I will follow that up.

Awesome idea. Hope you get a lot of support.

Good on you for putting your own time an effort into this. I'm sure you are also a fantastic teacher, this is awesome!

Hats off to you - absolutely exactly what we need to get more people into hunting, or at very least give them enough experience with hunting and firearms that they aren't easily fooled by anti-hunting, anti-gun propaganda.

Hey mate not sure if your interested but I’ve been having a clean out of a bit of gear that I’d prefer to go to some young fellas and your post sprung to mind. Couple of packs a sleeping bag and a water bladder back pack that could come to good use to the students. All is pretty much brand new. I’m waikato based aswell

Shit mate. That is awesome!!!. Will definitely take you up on that offer. Thanks. I'll send you a pm:cool:

Well. I finally managed to get our Hunting Club approved by the school board and organize our first meeting. Had over 35 keen young fullas turn up. :cool:
Now to organize our first trip. :cool:

Jeepers, good turnout. Should have ya hands full

Yup. Hoping to get a few experienced helpers along the way.

Chur Bay- good for you! Your kids are lucky to have you as a teacher!

Bit of an update. Myself and a couple of others took 6 lads
out hunting over the weekend. We were huntimg on the back of a farm that is being planted in Pines. Nice easy hunting to start youngsters off. We ended up shooting a Red stag, a Fallow Doe and 6 goats. The boys got a good fefeed of Venison Steak, Some Goat legs and next week we will make Boerwoers.
A successful first Hunting Club trip, and hopefully many more to come.
