    My Mate is coming hunting to New Zealand

    A very good friend of mine Bill Evans is coming to NZ for nine weeks on 10th february, I don't know what hunting he has arranged but I have told him of this site and he is going to come on here. He is a very experienced hunter but has never been to NZ before -any advise or information would be good to pass on to him .I usually put pictures of my crystal engraving on here - wish I was coming to NZ with my mate Bill
    The measure of a man is how he treats another

    I hope he's fit because hunting in NZ tested me in ways North American hunting never has! Where is he going to be starting off? If it's lower North Island then I can suggest a spot to go for a warm-up on goats.

    David, encourage Bill to join the forum and post his travel plans before he comes down here. That way I am sure there will be some offers of assistance given.

    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

    Welcome Bill. Good on ya. Perhaps tell us about the type of hunting you would like to do and then sit back and wait for the offers of assistance. There are some good forum buggers in the South Island and lower North Island that I am sure will help out. You may have to suffer the odd POME joke but that will just be the Antipodean lout coming out in us.

    Fitness level and gear list might enlighten us to what hunting you are prepared for.
