    New to the forum world.

    Hey team,

    Short time reader even, shorter time poster.

    I'm keen to link up with some like-minded folks for some back-country adventures.

    Selwyn based, but keen to get about!

    Welcome to the forum OR

    I would think once you have started to contribute to the forum and people get to know you, there will be a few who are keen to get out into the great outdoors with you. Maybe a little bit about your hunting experience and/or outdoor experience would help people to know if they are taking a 100% newbie or someone who has been involved with firearms and hunting for while.

    Hey rugerman,

    Since moving to NZ in 2020, I have been hunting for a few years all around the country, (moved about a lot working in construction). These days, I am mostly a high-tops hunter, but I will go and get stuck into anything that involves adventure!
    Spend a lot of time in the bush for work and fun so not afraid of being cold and wet!

    Got a good mate down south who reckons this is where all the good buggers hang out so I thought I'd get involved and meet a few.

    Nothing wrong with a little name and shame, to see if they vouch for you

    Yea clown, who told you that the buggers on here were helpful…

    Nah - Gidday ole mate, excellent to see your handle pop up. Happy to support OR in welcoming him to the page. Lead me astray on a worksite few years ago. Certainly more laughs then hard work that time!

    Proper reliable & honest chap, mission driven & a true outdoors man. Look forward to catching up on the hills again soon, no doubt 50yrd behind - caching my breath.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
