    Hello

    Afternoon all

    Been using this forum for info for a while and thought I should introduce myself.

    Steve from whangarei here, when I was a bit younger i had the opportunity to chase my old man around the kaimanawas and kawekas flying in with air charter taupo for a few years
    Just starting to get back into hunting on a budget.... if that's possible.

    Cheers for having me

    Welcome aboard. In the beginning man did not really need a budget to hunt. He merely needed to find an appropriately shaped rock and chip it away to a point and then attach it to a stick to have a spear. Sadly through the elapse of time across millennia, we have arrived at today where ………. Oh fuck I spend a lot of money on my firearms sporting interests. Ha ha ha ha

    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 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

    True but then again it doesn’t take much effort to get a feed of scallops in Urquharts Bay

    Really? What is this bloody world coming to? Next you will be telling me you can’t get a bag of crays just outside the Frenchman. I must admit that it has been at least three decades since I did these things I speak of.
