Seeking out New Zealand’s oldest hunter

New Zealand’s oldest hunting magazine is looking for New Zealand’s oldest hunter. This gives everyone the opportunity to nominate their father, grandfather, uncle, or a dear old friend for a new competition, to be launched in conjunction with the NZ Outdoor hunting magazine’s 75th birthday.

There‘s no doubt that there are plenty of seasoned hunters in New Zealand who can share some great hunting stories. Besides being a veteran hunter with plenty of good tales to tell, the person nominated still needs to be hunting in some capacity.

To nominate someone, people are asked to send in a 300-500 word profile of the person they think deserves to win, explaining with as much colour as possible why they think he should be the winner. The entry must also include photos – past and present – of this person hunting.

The competition is being launched in the August issue of NZ Outdoor hunting magazine, where further details and an entry form can be found.

The winner will be selected on the 1st of November, and announced in the magazine’s December/January issue.

New Zealand’s oldest hunter will receive an unforgettable guided hunting experience to be enjoyed with a companion on a remote station in the Wanganui hills.

This 2-night/3-day hunting adventure is to be hosted by professional hunting guide Barry Hogg of New Zealand Outfitters. Travel ex Taupo, Rotorua, Tauranga or Waiuru, country style cooked meals, cosy lodging and hunting will all be covered.

A trophy will also be presented to the winner and a special feature of their story will be published in the NZ Outdoor hunting magazine.

The NZ Outdoor Hunting Magazine is the leading magazine of its type in New Zealand and promotes all aspects of hunting. Its contents are a mix of expert, professional writing combined with the average hunter telling ‘campfire hunting yarns'. The high quality of the magazine means it has an extended life, with issues still appearing in back country huts from the 1930's when publishing first began.
