Thread: Planning Sth Island trip early Nov. Keen to meet...

Hi Team, I’m driving down to the IPSC Pistol National Championships in Invercargill for Oct 31 to Sunday Nov 6th. Then I’m a free agent for a few days returning to the Taranaki. I would love to do some Sth Island hunting, maybe get amongst some wallabies or some rabbit and hare or even a deer. More to the point, would be great to meet up with a fellow shooter/hunter/reloader. I’m not a young buck able to do hard yards anymore but I’m not quite geriatric (yet) either. I’m driving a capable 4WD with road tires. I can motel it but also happy to have a bed for the night and will have a sleeping bag with me. Not precious about anything and can fit in with most. Happy to contribute whatever is appropriate for meals, travel, etc. I prefer to avoid politics, religion and conspiracies in conversation mode. In return for hospitality I can reciprocate with an AirBnB quality base in New Plymouth for an intrepid Mainlander excursion to the Lesser Isle at a later date. I plan to bring a 22 Hornet and a 243 with me but have other options, 7x57, 6.5x55 etc. My ideal shooting distance is up to max 250m, sub 150m preferred. If you’re keen to explore possibilities, please PM me. All offers/proposals considered.
