Thread: Hi from Dunedin

Hey all,

Long time diver, spearo, fisherman, tramper, but newbie hunter here! I'm a postgrad student down in Dunedin, been looking to get into hunting for a while, compliments all the water based outdoor stuff I do. Have a mate who's a big hunter who's taken me under his wing & taken me out on a couple of hunts & to the range. Had a couple unsuccessful hunts (by that I mean didn't catch anything, but to me coming home with a feed is just a small element of getting out there, but I love just getting out & still been learning a lot of valuable stuff), & managed to nab my first deer a couple weeks ago. A nice clean kill on a yearling hind.

With the licence sorted I've just bought my first rifle, a new Savage Model 16 .270 on which I've put a Bushnell Elite 3-9x40 & a gunworks Spartan suppressor. Looking forward to getting out there more, & put what my mate's been teaching me into practice myself.

Alex
