    Hi from Dunedin.

    Hi all,

    I've posted a few times, but thought I'd better introduce myself.

    I’ve been hunting for a few months so far. Have been hunting a few times with my cousin – all rabbits so far.
    Just got the bug, and have leapt into it.
    I live in Dunedin with my wife and puppy. She will be my deer indicator one day (the dog, not the wife…).

    Got my firearms license in Feb, and have got my first gun, a left-handed Tikka T3 7mm08 with Gunworks suppressor and Leopold V3 CDS-3.5-10x50 scope.
    I have yet to fire it at all. Champing at the bit to do that

    Outside of hunting, I work in IT as a Systems Engineer.


    Cheers,
    Scott.

    Welcome to the forum Scott. Good of you to make yourself known
    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 Scott: get yourself into the ballot for one of the flatter blocks in the Blue mountains (rankleburn etc) Don't take glenwhinnie its a dog. Maungatuas are worth a hit - just watch out for spotlighters. (DOC)

    also Talk to DCC - they used to do permits for silverpeaks - not sure if there's anything left there tho.

    Good luck.

    The local NZDA will put you onto a range where you can get used to your rifle.

    Just make sure you have the proper blaze and safety kit if off into the bush!
    NOBODY IS PERFECT - but if you're from Yorkshire you're pretty close

    Hi. Welcome to the forum. There are a fair few of us in/around here. NZDA range up Leith Valley is open Saturday afternoons. Just after the overbridge over the highway. It's terrible though.
