I'd be keen to join as new to deer hunting and always keen to meet new people but if they're not that active whether it would be better to just get it sighted in at the Taupo range.

Cheers guys!

Hi Scottie,

Don’t have any experience with the Rotorua NZDA branch, but NZDA in general us a very good organisation to be part of. Give you the opportunity to meet with likeminded people. I am a member of both Hutt Valley and Wellington branches - they organise club hunts, hunter training courses, competitions (shooting, photography, others) and shooting ranges where possible. At the monthly meetings there is normally a guest speaker that will expose you as a hunter to various topics and information.

In the branches I am part if there are numerous initiatives to promote hunting and hunters and to work with Doc to use hunters as part of the overall game management plans.

But like any organisation, it is the people that make it - join and have a look.
