    Hi from Dunedin area

    Hi all. I have just signed up on here as im looking to get into a bit more hunting and this seemed like a good place for a yarn or two.

    Im a mechanic in Dunedin, originally from Wanaka/Hawea. I used to shoot a lot of rabbits (suprise suprise) up home and went out after the odd deer with the old man every now and then but nothing too regular. I would definitly call myself a newbie to bigger game!

    Looking to get out and about a heck of a lot more. Im not too familiar with any spots/blocks down here, so if anybody is looking for someone to go for a walk with i could be keen!

    Cheers,
    Sam

    Thanks for the welcome all!

    Stew, im definitly planning on joining the deerstalkers, i can imagine it would be handy even for just contacts! I do like the look of the hunts course, might be able to pick up some handy information there!

    Have managed to get out a bit latley, got onto a block for goats up palmerston way, found a fallow doe resting in under some pines around 6pm, we werent allowed to shoot deer on the block but stalked it a bit just for some practice, its been a few years since of been onto one of them now! Managed to get in around 75m or so from her before she noticed and took off. I was quite comfortable that i could have taken the shot if i had been allowed too so that was a good feeling.

    A mate and i also went for an explore up the silver peaks, didnt see any sign but damn it was a good walk!

    So far apart from the palmerston block that a mate has got us onto i have just been checking out the local DOC areas. Probably pretty well trodden but im just enjoying being out and about at the moment!
