Thread: Hello from Victoria

G'day -Thought id quickly introduce myself after joining the forum.
Originally from the Waikato and moved to Aussie in 2003. Used to hunt the Kaimai's back in the day a bit and the Ruahine's.
Spend most of my time hunting Sambar here in Victoria now but still hunt back home in the Kawekas, Kaimanawas, Ruahines, and also down south around Rakia ,Wapiti area, Arthurs pass ect.
These days -slowed down a bit due to kids and cows but still managed to clock up over 130 full days on the sambar alone in the last couple years so not to bad for an old bugger pritty lucky really.
So yeah love hunting ,family, fishing rugby ,so if you like any of them we will get on.
Hate greenies ,most politicians , arrogance ,do gooders , soft cocks and one eyed people and the word and meaning (Ban) as i hear it to much here So hope theres not to many boltangs.
Over the last few years living in Australia I have learnt a bit on the differences and similarities the two countries have in the way of hunting Especially here in Victoria.It has opened my eyes up living here in that way.
It sounds as if we are under fire with hunting/fishing and general out door sports as you are back home.
When i lived in NZ in my younger days my mates and I never had to worry or even talked about the politics surrounding my life of hunting fishing and outdoors which was great (the good old days) maybe we took our freedom of the out doors for granted.
Now with the bullshit that surrounds us I take great interest and want to learn more about the threats that surround our life styles or sport.
I believe that these days the outdoor community needs to form as one and unite to keep and improve on what we have before a minority party buggers it for us properly this includes both nz and aus (outdoor community) as the two countries tend to copy one another.
For example just becouse you deer stalk or 4wd doesnt mean you should'nt be following or interested in whats going on in the duck shooting or fishing department. All our life style choices can only be protected with numbers.

This is one of the reasons I have joined this forum which is a shame but necessary i think.

So yeah hope to learn some stuff and don't mind talking about anything surrounding the two countries that involves hunting fishing or out doors if anyone wants a yarn.
Plus other shit to not just politics.


cheers.
