    Hello, new and wanting to give hunting in Stewart Island a go

    Hello
    A newbie here who is doing some research into a trip to the Stewart Island and hoping for some advice from those who have been already. We (me in my 40s and dad in his mid 70s) are in Auckland and normally hunt in the central North Island but want to try something new next year. Has anyone been to Little Hellfire and if so what's it like to hunt in May and what is the best/most affordable way to get there. A direct flight on a chopper or small plane from Invercargill/Bluff or a ferry to Stewart Island and then a flight to the block?
    Any advice/suggestions much appreciated.

    Welcome Rommy. There are a few from the island and surrounding area on here that will have the knowledge you seek.
    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
