    Newbie

    Recently join this page to gain some more knowledge. I’m new to hunting and just recently bagged my first stag. Glad to see so many like minded people in one place.

    I’m based in Whangarei.

    Cheers
    Andre

    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

    I find it quite time consuming and expensive which is why I've shot and eaten a lot of goats! It takes a bit of time to get to know a hunting area. Flying is an option, but it's a bit of a hassle with a gun and then you don't have a vehicle at the other end. Always interested to hear how others do it.

    I’ve been looking at getting my first goat, but it’s proving to be very difficult. I’ve recently gone and scouted Tangihua, didn’t have any luck not even a single sign. Also been down to the DOC office for some leads but they seem a bit reluctant to give out contact details of private properties around that area.
    I don’t know any hunters in Northland, I guess you need to know the right people or figure it out yourself.
    Anyway, heading south for the roar maybe I’ll spot a goat over there.
