Thread: Can I target shoot on your land? (Wellington)

I am sick of dealing with the old guard that are always at Kaitoke so I am looking around for some private property to target shoot on instead.
I'd be with my girlfriend and we'd be shooting an SKS, shotgun and .22. We'd only shoot wood targets and clean everything up afterwards, pick up our brass and hulls, etc of course.
We can pay if you want but it would have to be cheaper than the cost of a private booking at Kaitoke otherwise there's no point.

Also if you want to let me pop some bunnies while I'm there that'd be cool :p But no pressure they're your bunnies.

Send me a message if you can help me out I guess.

You know what im sick of?

Apparently you missed the part where I said I'd pay.

Besides that it is possible to just be a decent person, I plan to let people shoot on my land when I buy my farm. Way to be a di*ck though, nice first impression of this forum for me.

Yeap we're all a pack of assholes here, may as well bugger off before you get your feelings hurt, again.

Well you definitely are and it's good you can admit that to yourself but I've had a message from a land owner already so I wouldn't say you all are.

No hurt feelings here bud, I'm mostly just finding it amusing that you and five others think offering to pay to shoot somewhere = wanting something for nothing. That's a pretty interesting logical leap.

Good job getting a place to shoot so quickly.

Just ignore those who think they run the forum and can control what other people say and do. If they're not a moderator, tell them to get fucked.

Some of them are probably Kaitoke members.

Good luck with the new place to shoot.

Bugger, hope they can get it sorted. I have known a couple of people with lepto, one was a workmate a couple of years ago, he lost quite a bit of weight but recovered okay. The other was a beef farmer who was the brother of a dairy farmer I worked for one uni holidays in the late 80's, he was in bed for 18 months initially. That dairy farmer told me never touch a dead calf, because you didnt know what it had died of.
Hopefully it's the modern treatments that make the difference, best of luck!

You're stuck with lepto for life if you get it, can go away for years and then come back and often leaves people with bouts of extreme lethargia, persistent coughs etc.

Ive ticked like on @Ryan_Songhurst post as though I dont actually like it, its true and nothings going to change that. Weve reared calfs for years and this has been the first year weve needed to go to sales to get our numbers. Guess not all farmers vaccinate.

My father was a vet and he caught it, I was too young to remember much but it did knock him around quite a bit
