Thread: A New Hunter from Nelson

Hi guys it's Eric here.

I am a new hunter at age 30, living in Nelson. I was born overseas with a strict no guns law but I am a gun nerd and have always dreamed of going hunting and getting meat from the wild.

I just finally got my gun license 2 months ago, got my .308 and have finished setting up everything.

I used to hike a lot when I was still in my home country so I trust myself some challenging blocks should be able to handle. The craziest one I ever did was a 15 hour hike with about 10kg backpack. I could do lots of ascending and descending in a single day, literally 1300m. I got an E-MTB so should be capable of tackling any tracks compatible with 4WD. I am keen to hike to some remote spots as well.

Last weekend I was going to try my luck, more like a field trip and testing myself to the limit. Found nothing over Dowie hut but good to learn from outside. I probably will be heading out to Beebys area on coming weekend and see what happens.

Keen to learn about the area. Any good places where can find deer or goats would be appreciated. Thanks mate.
