New to this forum. Planning first time hunt in NZ.

[moosemeat]

Fellow Canuck here freshly back from NZ South Island west coast Tahr hunting trip end of May this year, as always great advice from the forum members it’s where I got started, by talking to members asking the questions that could make a dream become a reality! First advice I would have for your first trip is to not do a DIY 10 day trip too many cons to mention on this thread a lot have been mentioned already, individual licensed guides or outfitters provide gear you’d only use once if at all which makes travelling easier with less gear and also they can help be a guarantor for your firearms license which you won’t get unless you have someone.
Once you’ve got enough posts send me a PM I can answer a lot of questions for you especially the travelling from Canada to NZ aspect of the journey Good Luck
