Gday team, Russell here, based in the central ni, halfway between Taupo and reporoa.
Keen deer stalker, nothing better than a quiet stalk through the bush looking for deer.
Currently shooting a .270 win, with a Leupold v3xi signature edition
And always love getting a few ducks too.

Always keen to go.for a hunt, so always on the lookout for hunting mates.
So if anyone around the area is keen to head out! Give us a yell!!
Nice to meet you all!!

Hi there Guys, my nickname is MateWiggy,  I just registered for the forum.  I am a keen bushman.  My current playground is Ureweras, mostly DOC part as I don't know many locals to go hunting other parts.   I am looking to move down to South Island in a year or so and really would like to know your opinion which region of South Island is a good place for balance employment / hunting / bush.   I am a bush hunter and never hunted open plains or open terrain in general.  I was thinking of mowing down to Greymouth ( my dream town ) but not sure what employment there is like.  I would be great full for any discussion on South Island Regions. I am pretty much fed up of North Island to be honest, gets a bit overcrowded for my liking   Much obliged in advance.   Also anyone keen to go hunting,  Ureweras or around, I am keen any time.  My hunting mates are a bit of a no show at the moment lol.

Welcome to the forum gentlemen.. 

I'm Ross, live at Mahia Beach HB.
Took up deerstalking again after a 30 year break.
Love it. My Tika 25-06 rocks, deadly accurate, scoped and suppressed. Shooting reds and fallow close to home. Forum is great.

Hey team,

Name/s Ben, lived in Wellington for 18 years (hunting mainly Ruahines and Kawekas), and had a rifle in my hand at 5 years old. Recently moved down to Lincoln to study a Bachelor in Agricultural Science.. haven't been able to get out much since I moved down there which is a shame, haven't been able to meet many good buggas.

If anyone is keen to go for a hunt or happy to take a young fella out that'd be appreciated. Currently run a 7mm Rem Mag with a VX6 scope.

Pretty handy when it comes to the carry out haha.

Cheers,

Ben

Hello Richard, and all the others people who have joined the forum recently.

Welcome to the Forum. 

Hi All,

My name is Matt.  I'm Canadian and have lived in NZ for 5 years, mostly in the BOP but now in Raglan.  I've been for a few great rifle hunts mostly on the east cape.

Also have been learning to shoot a bow over the past couple years and started bow hunting goats recently (working up to deer). Thanks for adding me to the group.

Cheers

Hi everyone
I live in the UK I've been shooting all my life shotguns and rifles currently using a 17 fireball for the small stuff and i have two 260 Rem's ones a factory rifle the others a  custom built long range rifle I do my own reloading, anyway I do quite a bit of lamping mainly fox's and rabbits the 260 is my deer rifle I've  also kept Ferret's for about 20 years I try to get them out working in the winter months. If by any chance your on UK  varming or the stalking directory you will find me there using the same long in as here I generally do a bit of everything.

       Cheers Matt
