    Hi Guys,

    I'm a Pom and have been in NZ for about 7 months after retiring from the UK military. I'm living near Motueka at the top of the south. I have been hunting deer for about 15 years in the UK, US and Aus, and I'm dead keen on shooting a good bull tahr too. Currently running a .300 Win Mag and a .25-06, but swapping the .25-06 to .284, and have a 7mm Rem Mag build in the wings.

    Looking forward to a few yarns on here and to learning from you guys who know the ground and animals much better than I do.

    Cheers

    Welcome Simmo.
    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 to the forum @Simmo. I live nearby so we could catch up for a beer some time and plan a tahr hunt.
