However, before you do so, we hope to also impart some knowledge and skills that we have learnt during our travels. Getting out is great. Getting out with the proper skillset to be safe and have fun, is even better.

Win a Hunters Club DVD find out how in this show   Dave Shaw has over a decade of experience in TV production gained from both home and abroad. With just a handful of hunting trips under his belt, he’d be the first to admit that he doesn’t possess the hunters instinct just yet, although his combination of a BSc in Zoology & years spent in Officer training for the NZ military means he brings a different set of skills to the table. On top of this, Dave also cut his teeth working on the groundbreaking Discovery Channel series FutureWeapons, so he certainly knows how to shoot action!   Prior to starting up The Hunters Club, Dave was the lead camera operator and head of post production on the ITM Fishing Show, which rates as one of NZ’s most watched shows in any genre. It was through the show that Dave crossed paths with Dan, and from there they decided that it was high time someone set out to show the general public exactly what makes hunting in New Zealand so very special.   https://www.facebook.com/huntersclubnz/   http://thehuntersclub.tv
