    New to NZ / Taupo

    Hey everyone,

    Just moved to Taupo (from Australia) and am keen to connect with some local hunters, anyone live nearby?

    Welcome to the forum. I spent 20 years in Taupo hunting and enjoying the outdoors. Great place. Enjoy.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    Welcome aboard.
    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

    Gidday,

    Just out of the Avoca for a day, then back in up beyond lake Ohau. Yes, live 20 min from Taupo. Every now and then we hold a bit of a get together at the farm. Keep an eye out on the Upcoming events thread and you should manage to bump into a few like minded sorts.

    I live in Taupo but I’m working in WA at the moment so not at home much. Will be back home for a few months soon though. Taupo's a great place mate, lots of hunters too
