Reel recovery - our new Hunting retreat!! come see us at this year’s Sika Show (Booth 27)


Hi All,

For some years now and throughout our Toby’s illness, and subsequent passing. I’ve been plotting among other things on how to build a Hunting equivalent retreat based on what we do in our very successful Reel Recovery, Fishing retreats.

Now Thanks to Lindsay and Hamish, and in conjunction with Muddy Waters Hunting NZ we now have planning and fundraising underway for an initial 6-person retreat to a 1600 hectare private hunting block, in the area north of Wanganui planned for 2018.

I can’t thank these guys enough for getting on board and providing us a safe venue and the ability to take 6 guys who are either battling or survivors of Cancer into an retreat environment Where the activities being hunting based.

Having hunted here before, its well set up and have seen literally hundreds of Fallow Deer here over the course of a weekend (even shot a few!! Eh @Happy).

So... If you are in or around at the Sika Show this weekend.

Stop by.... find out more...or just have a yarn with us and support this most worthy cause.
(This year Reel Recovery NZ is the Sika Shows’ own charity of Choice! - and we are very humbled to have been selected for this)

As a current Reel Recovery board member, I’m also very proud that we’ve been able to do this as part of NZ organisation and provide a vital and unique service to guy’s battling Cancer here in NZ -To provide a weekend away from the stresses and strains of their everyday battle.

Just to front foot a question that I’m always asked… and perhaps give you a bit of added insight of how we work

As an entirely Voluntary organisation all our fundraising and revenues go into putting on the retreats for the guys, so every dollar donated, or raffle ticket sold - goes to them!

All the guys need to pay for is getting to our retreat and getting home.
We feed, water, guide and care for them whilst they are with us over the weekend retreat.

So, Pop in and see us – I could say look for the bearded buggers (as I think most of us currently are) in the green shirts for a chat or perhaps lend us a word of support.

Talk soon!
