    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

    Yea keep in touch.
    I have a couple of mates up no2 rd and no 3 rd on lifestyle blocks (who dont hunt) and some of the storys the tell are hair raising... Hunters cars with bullet holes in them and hunters being shot at even tho ther are on the DOC side of the fence. jus be carefull up there and make sure you have permesion if your near private property.

    If it helps at all there is a weebsite

    DOC Public Conservation Areas - Department of Conservation | New Zealand | GIS Map Data | Koordinates

    This will let you know what is public (DOC) and what is private all over NZ...

    Dam handy!
