Greetings from New Zealand
« on: November 13, 2009, 01:13:01 PM »
Hi there, I'm Red, living and shooting in New Zealand. Thought it must be time to spread the wings and see who/what makes the USA tick  :) Lots of keen shooters over here, but I think you might have a few more ! ;)
                       Cheers, Red.

Welcome to the internet home of a great bunch of folks and a few old farts.
Hope your time here is enjoyable.
Yes there's some keen shooters here, although a bunch of them just shoot the bull.

Hi Red,
          Welcome to the forum, I've only made a single post myself but have already received an answer, along with the rest of the information you just absorb via osmosis hanging around on here.
What do you chase in NZ?  I've got a trip booked over there with a mate early next year to hunt the Red Deer Rut and I'm really looking forward to it.  Looks like there are some amazing trophy Red's over there.
Cheers
Craig

Hi Craig. These days I mostly Varmint, but have harvested pig and deer in the past. Recently bought a Handi in .243 and would like to get some bush bashing in with it, as I've revitalised my taste for venison !! Red.
