    Good day folks!

    I'd like to introduce myself, I'm a 30 year old fella from the UK who grew up in rural communities in England and Ireland. My lovely wife, Tracey, is sadly Australian. I worked over there for a few years and was transferred to Auckland with my job. We currently live in south east Auckland but own a great little camper and get out of the city every weekend usually to parts of Hunua, Waikato, Te Aroha, Shakespeare and Maraetai but I'm always looking for excuses to go somewhere new.

    I'm into anything outdoors. Canoeing, hiking, camping, fishing, any adventure. I grew up shooting other people's guns but now I'm starting to climb the hunting ladder from the bottom beginning with knocking over some pests for people with a .22 air rifle - so let me know if you or your mates are tripping over rabbits in the paddocks.

    My goal is to work my butt off to save for a block on the south island somewhere around Oamaru maybe and my hunting goal is to one day hunt Tahr down there and get a really sweet hide to have tanned. Plus tahr stew is the business!

    There's a lot to learn so I'd like to say thanks to the more experienced people who share what they know here, it's a huge help to a new comer.

    Sounds like a good plan, she who must be obeyed makes a mean Tahr stroganoff in the crockpot in our house hold.

    Welcome and enjoy.
    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
