Hi Guys,

My name is Matthew and live down in Melbourne. (Friends with Raist 60)

Love hunting but could only wish to get out more often, but working towards that as we speek.

Used to hunt predominatly ducks many moons ago but now focus on Bunny busting with the odd Basil thrown in.

Also interested in bigger game when the occasion arrises and would love to get more into Goats and Pigs.

Have been monitoring the forumns and must say i am very impressed with what i see.

It appears there is a great bunch of guys and girls who are all passionate about there sport and willing to give sound advice.

I can only hope to add some value.

Hi there, I have joined to see what others have to say as I have a listing as a gun dealer but it meant nothing to me without being able to read what the site is all about.

Just joined the site, have been shooting rimfires for a couple of years and am hoping to buy a .223, wanting some advice on which brand to buy with $1,300 to $1,500. There appears to be alot of varying opinions on the Tikkas and CZ 527 in terms of accuracy and value for money? Any thouights.My experiences of CZ rimfires has been excellent.

G'day all,

I've just discovered your forum and after having a quick poke around I have to say that I'm impressed. I've just moved to Ballarat and I'm pretty much a small game hunter. Rabbits, foxes, cats and hares. I currently own a Brno Mod 5 .22LR, 12 Guage Coach shottie and a Gamo CFX .22 Air rifle. Look forward to chatting to you all.

Happy hunting,

Pete.

Gday John,

my question is....why do you leave Australia????

I'm from Holland and i'm going to live in Australia!

If everything is going well my visa is ready in june,so i go there as quick as possible.

But your question about hunting in holland is very easy.

There is almost no opportunity left to hunt in holland,there are almost 17 million people living on this small peace of land.

I own with a hunting combination about 200 hectares and that is a lot in Holland.

The prices you pay to hunt in Holland are very high,I give you an example:

hunting certificate,15 evenings school and 20 practice lessons:about 3000€

hunting licence every year:185€

hunting insurance+membership hunting organisation:120€

and then you need to have at least 40 hectares to make your hunting license valid.

the price per hectare to rent only for the hunt is about 15€ per hectare per year.

it's too busy in holland that's why i leave,to much stress and if your'e on a hunt everybody's screaming at you,killer,mother@#$%& and all the rest.

it's to crowded and everybody is living to far away from mother nature!

but at least I want to wish you all the best in Holland with,i hope, some hunting,but it wouldn't be easy

good luck,

jordy from holland

I'm Jordy from Holland and I'm busy to get my permanent visa for Australia.

I'm leaving Holland cause it's to crowded and there are a lot of people who make hunting difficult,like a lot of ministers and people from the government.

Here in Holland I hunt wit a 12 and 20 gauge shotgun for rabbits,hare and phasants.

I got a Krico .22 lr , a Weihrauch .22 hornet and a tikka 30.06 for deer and wild boar in germany.

Hope to join you some time

Good Hunting

G'day Jordy,

I have to say that Australia is a land of oppertunity for hunters. Where in Aus are you looking to land or settle when you come over, ie Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane?

Happy hunting,

Pete. :D
