I grew up in the city, now in my twenties and brand new to hunting. Have been out to the Kaimanawas a couple of times for weekend trips, but that's about it.
Really enjoy any opportunity to head into the bush which is limited with work and young family.

Keen to learn more about hunting in NZ as I really know very little. I appreciate that most of you have worked hard at the craft and that it would have taken a lot of trial, error and practice to learn what you all know about the sport.
I would really appreciate any wisdom or advise that anyone is willing to share. Even which blocks/ranges to explore first given my Auckland location. Species to go after first or things to keep in mind when looking into certain species or areas.

I'm keen to "get out there and do it", but would just appreciate any pointers. Even if someone wants to share some Do's and Dont's.

Thanks in advance.

I hope I'm not being "thatguy"
