Ive had a few pigs with a work mate. Been out on some deer trips but no luck as yet.
Im mad keen and have been slowly setting myself up gps,rifle,clothing,boots etc

Just wondering if you more experienced hunters have any advice for hunting for a young 20 year old in the nelson region for deer in winter etc and any good places to check out would be keen as on any input.

thankyou simon

Learn to navigate anywhere without a GPS and only use it for spot checks and marking waypoints. Carry good gear and food/fluids enough to survive comfortably a night out in shitty conditions. The rest will come with time spent boots on the ground.
