Thread: Haere mai, haere mai

Hi all. I'm Martin. Originally from Sth London but after having a bit of a nose around the planet I discovered NZ and never left. Just got my Citizenship. Been hunting for 3 years. Being in Northland limits my hunting of deerz but I have secured some nice farms to chase roosters, quail, ducks, pigs and goats. Obsessed with upland and will spend 50% of opening weekend chasing Roosters with Badger my GWP. Still trying for my first roaring red and a representative Fallow is my real goal as I love Fallow. Aside from hunting I'm a lifelong photographer(Nikon) and angler. Own the smallest brewery in NZ - Middle Earth Brewery(MEB) although we currently aren't brewing.
Just starting to take an interest in guns themselves but in general I'm happy with what I've got and can't afford anything else. Win M70 Featherlight in .275Rigby. Nikko 2200 12g. Anshutz .22lr.
I have more than my fair share of hair and without doubt the skinniest legs on this forum.

I absolutely love being in the hills and am currently counting down the days to the roar when I will be doing my first chopper trip, my first trip to the Urewera's and my first roar trip with Greendog.

nice crew building up on here

Kia ora, Steevo here,

You may remember me from such forums as NZ Airgunners forum, Not so Awesome fishing and Hunting NZ forum and now NZ Shooting and Hunting Forum? Look forward to chatting with OLD friends...

Keen slayer of the deerz here on the East Coast. Upland game all season, then back to deerz.

Hey guys, great looking forum here. Names Nelson, been shooting since pretty young (son of NK/Grasshopper). Old man got me into this addiction, and it shall be a fair while til it goes. No doubt I'll have some stupid questions here and there.
Cheers!

Gidday Nelson. I chatted to you at the NZDA range last month, I shoot the 75 Finnlight in .270, 75 Laminate in .223 and had the Molot Vepr there last time. Welcome to the forum!

Greetings, Blame Philipo for me joining this new forum.

Anyway i'm from just south of Hamilton and my interests are predominantly hunting with a little bit of fishing. I get down to the Kaimanawas as much as I can as i love chasing sika and try to get down to the south island for at least one hunt a year where i've hunted and shot and hunted some nice Thar, Chamois & Wapiti.

Hi all

Live in the middle of the south Island....... and love most forms of hunting although to be fair I have pretty much not bothered with birds for some time.....
I hunt thar and deer mostly... would love to chase pigs more often but not being into dogs that happens infrequently....
Wallabies get a pasting and varminting is also a real interest.

Stepped into LR stuff a bit, but am less interested in practicing than hunting, so sold a custom 7WSM and built a 6.5x55Ackley on a finnlight as a tops gun.... good for more than I have skill for.......

Currently working on dropping some condition and spending more time in the hills....... managed to keep my hair so far, if not quite the original colour...

Into motorbikes, jetboats and fishing as well........ not enough time.....:rolleyes:
