I'm hoping someone out there could point me in the right direction towards hunting. I have no experience but wanting to learn. Again if anyone knows what path I should take, that would be "O" for awesome. Thanks anyway.

A good start would be to contact your local NZ Deer Stalkers club and ask for details of the next HUNTS course.
Thanks Rushy much appreciated.Quote:

Your in the right place;)
What sort of hunting are you wanting to get into -interested in ?
Hi veitnamcam, LOL my user name is a bit of a tongue twister :D. I'm interested in any hunting to be honest, deer, pig, goat, anything that would put a feed on the table, for my family and strangers to be honest. My goal/dream is to give a decent feed away to people who need it.Quote:

But seriously, any kind of hunting I'm keen on:thumbsup:.
Thanks for taking the time to read and replying to my post veitnamcam!!!
Good stuff, I give a lot to family and mates who are having a hard time of it,(which seems to be all of us these days)
I have offered a boot load of meat to a church in Nelson who provide cooked lunches every weekday to those who need them( and I bloody needed it for 6 months of my younger life) but was told they couldn't accept it as it was wild. Thought this only applied legally if being bought and sold.
I know what you mean, concerning help with food. I was also in that situation of needing help. At our local church they do the same charity, but they also have to adhere to OSH (bizarre in my books). My wife and I want to surprise families at food banks and other such places, and give them as much as their fridge can hold.
It's disappointing when politics get in the way of good legitimate meat or any other kind of food source. I wonder if OSH allows caught fish or sea food to be given in a charity type enviroment???
In my world at least, meat is the most expensive produce to buy, it's so bad now a days, even having meat somewhat decent, (PAMS range) is a luxury.
mate we have all been learner hunters and i have meet many hunters that are tight lipped about where and how to hunt lucky they are not like that on this site everyone here are great people willing to share. if you want a very good hunting book get HUNTING SMARTER BY HANS WILLEMS very good read. if you find yourself over rotorua way flick me a PM and we can head out for a pig or a deer.Quote:

And for the record, the next day trip your planning please let me know and I'll make the trip to Rotorua with ease. My wife and I will always try out best to make time for hunting as we both relies the significance of both meat, skills learned and peoples help freely given.
Again thanks bro for help and encouragement. And your crazy right about people being willing to help...Damm, the christian community as a whole can learn a lot from you guys!!!!
