Thread: I want to go on my first deer hunt. Where to start?

Hi all,

I am a 19 yo university student who studies at The University of Auckland.

I have recently caught an itch for wanting to go on a hunt for a deer, it must be this forum , but I have no idea where to even start. I have a tiny bit of small game hunting experience with my .22 (went rabbit hunting twice).

From the research I’ve done I think going on a guided deer hunt would probably be the best choice for someone as green as me right?

Id appreciate everyone’s thoughts and wisdom.
If someone is or knows a hunting guide in the Auckland area, and can point me in their direction that’d also be massively appreciated

Thanks
