    NZDA Otago - Thanks!

    I just want to put a shout out to all the volunteers at NZDA Otago that helped organise and assist with the HUNTS course that concluded last weekend with a 2 day hunt in the blue mountains. Us newbies all learnt heaps of great tips and had a blast getting into the bush (bloody hard yakka though!). Thanks to all the great instructors on course, we managed to get 6 deer and 2 pigs between the 11 on course. I managed to get my first deer on day two and I reckon I’m now hooked! Good times

    Good on ya mate. It is good for the volunteers to get deserved recognition

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    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

    The blue mountains offer some of the hardest deer hunting in the country. Well done on your first deer on the mountain.

    I was on the course aswell and also got my first deer, bloody epic weekend. The HUNTS course is an excellent service and provided so much valuable information.

    My mate was on that course funnily enough.

    He didn't shoot anything but loved it
