    His name is Dave Wilson and he was very helpful.
    Yeah I know what you are saying Pointer. I don't know how a top dog works and unfortunately I don't have anyone locally (that I know of anyway) that can show me. So maybe it's not going to happen?

    Well I come from a farming back ground and have spent lots of time with them certainly have a love for them.
    Where I am there certainly is no lack of deer. We shot 2 10mins walk from the house a little while ago and you see them on the drive way often.
    I just thought if I can then why not. But if I can't, oh well no biggie.

    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

    After reading these types of posts on NZ forums for years now, the best advice I can offer to anyone keen on starting a deer dog is to find a guy who has one up and running really well, and ask to tag along. I see so many people say they want to train a deer dog without actually knowing how a top dog works. Tagging along might change your mind - you do it for the love of dog work not as a short term solution to a lack of deer
    Don't suppose you know anyone in Marlborough/Nelson area who has a good dog up and running?
