    Hi All

    Hi All

    I am new to the Hunting Game. Have been a keen fishing and diving hunter for many years but have taken up the hunting with a gun and bow as well. Did my first trip to the southern slopes of Mt Ruapehu last week for three days but no luck. Had great weather bit cold.

    I am looking at coming down again in Spring with a few friends and doing a heli trip. Can anyone give me any feedback on the blocks that Helisika offer ?

    Any help would be great as I am keen to get my first deer. Make that first anything with gun or bow.

    If there are any Northland hunters with a few spots or want a shooting buddy I can make time most days and weekends. As long as the wife lets me go. Just have to start getting something in the freezer or she will not let you out as much.

    Cheers


    Johno

    Welcome to the forum Johno.
    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

    Welcome Johno, I think you'll enjoy the banter around here

    welcome mate, the helisika website has all the blocks and prices on there, central helicopters (rotorua) might be worth a look to.
