Tips
Find somewhere to hunt
Tip from: Charlie Meyer, Otaki Hunting & Fishing
For a lot of people this is out your back doorstep, but for a lot of budding hunters, finding land to hunt on is the first stumbling block. Let's be clear about one thing, private land is exactly that, private land! A lot of land owners are more than happy for you to shoot on their property providing you respect their wishes.
Going to see a farmer/land owner face-to-face to ask is a lot better than cold calling on the telephone. It shows you are more serious and gives the farmer a chance to see if you look dodgy or not. If he gives you the thumbs up, do everything he stipulates and you may well have a hunting spot for life. Also never underestimate the value of a few beers or other small gift to show your appreciation.
