    2. Many calibers are good. 308 or 7mm08 . In south island arguably 270 and 30.06 more ideal. Use plenty of gun when you first start. Get something you can easily buy ammo for over the counter.
    3. NZDA run a hunter training course HUNTS . Or look for tramping club bushcraft courses and go to a rifle range , ask questions, people will usually give helpful advice.
    And there are your answers right there. Oh and welcome aboard.
