    Hi all

    Hi everyone. Been a long time reader and have enjoyed it muchly .
    Currently based in northland but try to get a few hunts in each year with friends and family. Still lots to learn so probably still more reading than contributing to the forum at this stage but will jump in where I can.

    Welcome Buzz, glad to have another northlander here. Only problem up here is the long drive for deer, but the fishing and lion red more tgan makes up for it. I often look on odd threads and have a good time realizing how little I know.

    Thanks Lars

    Oh how little you know about the elixir of life. Compared to the nectar of the gods Waikato, Lion Red is a training beer for the young and confused. Oh and welcome Buzz.

    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

    Hey thanks for the welcome. Yeap living in Northland is a challenge for deer hunting but getting out for a surf or a dive two to three times a week makes the place a pleasure to live in. It would be nice not to have to drive far for a good hunt . I did hear rumours of deer in Russell forest, but having been in there a few times chasing pigs I think it was probably just that… rumours.

    Hey there
    Mums side of the family are all northlanders, beautiful place.
    We often shoot deer on the beaches down here, when on our way for a dive Waters a bit colder down these parts, current temps about 9 degrees!

    I’m using a 7mm08 . It does everything I need right now. With the ammo shortage I was surprised to see H&f in kerikeri has a stack of PPU in stock. I was even more surprised to see they’re priced at $79.99 I think that’s twice the price of the last box of ppu I bought.
