    Hi

    Just joined the forum on the suggestion of another member. Spend December - April in NZ, and the rest of the year in northern Wisconsin and Minnesota in the US. Met a lot of great guys at the F-class nationals this year in Trentham. Looking forward to learning from other members about the great hunting and hiking in this stunning country.
    Cheers

    Thank you, been coming here since 2018 (except for the lockdown years), and really enjoy the weather and people. Two weeks ago it was -20 without the windchill where I live in the US. I hate cold....
