    Caliber is a real minefield on here, we all have different views. Its one of the hottest most fierce debates around

    Oh yeah, one more piece of advice.

    Before you buy any gear : STOP

    Make do. Use what you've got buy second hand off trademe ... Borrow. When you've figured out what you REALLY LIKE, REALLY WANT and REALLY NEED, then and only then buy it new. Maybe not even then.

    Dont spend a shitload of money before you have to

    And welcome to the forum.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Your local deerstalkers should be running a hunts course that covers everything you have asked and more.
    Well worth it and a good way to meet people who are keen on hunting in your area.
    Finish up by buying yourself a 6.5x55 and you will soon be filling the freezer and back on your feet they are as accurate as hell and deer hate them.
