Thread: May aswell

Hi All,

I recently made an account after stumbling across this forum. Thought I better introduce myself after a making a few comments and posts throughout the forum.

I am a new hunter, only been out once about two weeks ago. With two other good friends of mine and it was a blast. I am keen to shoot deer, but am open for most things. I always wanted to go out hunting as a teenager but we never had an opportunity. Im keen to learn as much as I can and hopefully gain so more knowledge and gain alot of confidence going out hunting and bush so that I can take my son out when he is old. Hes only just a baby haha.

I live just out Palmerston North, I havent grown up here so im not familiar with the area. So me and my mates would love some pointers of places to go.

My father gave me his No1 mk3 Lithgow 303-25 and a 45-70 Siamese mauser. Also recently picked up a Parker hale 303. I know these arent common calibres anymore but im keen to keep them alive. Aswell as a bunch of reloading gear, my father dabbled in making his own 45/70 projectiles.

The great calibre of people I have spoken to so far has been super Welcome. Hope to learn some get info from here!
