    Hunting Novice

    Hey guys, im a 23 year old male working full time in whanganui (night shift). Ive worked on fishing boats and fished all my life, love camping and also am fairly decent at bush craft, But now im at the stage where i want to do alot of hunting!!! i was just wondering if any of you guys around the wanganui area would be interested in taking myself out for a hunt. i can help pay my way and carry the animals we get. Preferably id love to do alot of pig hunting but im up for anything.
    i also havent had too much time on guns with scopes, only realy had a shotgun (ymeng 12 guage) to play with. Alas im always keen to learn differnt skills out there, Skinning/Boning/ hitting the damn thing ect
    Cheers, Wishing everyone a safe and happy xmas comming up!!

    Hey Rasta, there are a lot of farmers that allow fallow hunting on their blocks out that way. May pay to do a bit of door knocking or even some facebook stalking to see who you can find. Most are pretty good chaps that will guide you around for the day and let you borrow a rifle. Good learning experience and generally not too expensive, especially since you wouldn't need to travel.
