Thread: Hi All, Newbie(ish) from Hawkes Bay

Hi all,

I've been lurking around the forums for a while and thought I'd pull the trigger on signing up. You seem like a great bunch to chat with and learn from.

I've always been a keen outdoorsman (not saying I'm any good however, just keen on it...) but have only picked up hunting in recent years in my late 20s.
My mindset is that you can learn anything at any age. Hopefully I get proficient enough to pass some skills on one day.


Currently running an 18" Bergara B14 .308.
Current purchase I'm tossing up between is 10x42 or 8x42 Leica binos.
And my current side project is trying to make my own little set of digital maps to store all of my GPS and scouting data (because I'm tight and don't want to pay for some US app).


Cheers! looking forward to getting to know you all.
