    Aussie in NZ

    Hey Ladies and Gents,

    Allow me to introduce myself.
    I'm a new Kiwi resident of 6 months, living in Timaru. Fresh off the boat from Aussie, Sunshine Coast, QLD.
    I'm recently engaged to a lovely Kiwi girl. We have 5 kids between us from 16 to 5 years old.

    I recently got my firearms licence and got a 22 magnum to find my feet. I have no experience hunting just a bit of clay shooting in the past.

    The inlaws are all well accomplished hunters for many decades in South Island mainly.

    I've been across the forums for a few weeks so far.

    Keen for advice and tips tricks and trips....

    Long term I'm keen on deer and pigs but not sure where my hunting journey will take me.

    I shot my first animals on the weekend and made a point of skinning, gutting and trimming them to prove to myself I can do it.

    Mission accomplished!!!!

    See you all around. Any local Timaru send me a Hoi for a catchup.

    Cheers
    Aussie.

    Ps If you wanna talk Rugby be prepared to talk cricket too

    Welcome aboard mate. I see you have the natural Australian flair for naming things

    They are a pretty good bunch on here overall, but given where you come from, I would brace yourself for the onslaught

    Hi Aussie, Welcome to the Forum.

    Its a bit far to come to the Coromandel for a fish but the offer is there if you are up this way.

    welcome to the forum.

    You should be well placed for advice from the inlaws as long as you guys get along!

    Bugger me I am late to this party. Welcome Aussie. Er what is cricket?
    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
