Any other hobbies besides tenkara? Yes, I practise traditional bow hunting in New Caledonia. I hunt rusa deer, wild boar, turkey, pukeko, goat… wherever possible on my island. Since 2009, I have been hunting with a Howard Hill Wesley Special
longbow, using wooden arrows and heavy (300 g) TuffHead hunting tips. I hope to find many bow hunters here with whom I can discuss bows, hunting, hunting tips, and more.
For me it is a factor of schedule, and that I am self taught in all my outdoor activities. I do not have any outdoorsmen in my family, nor friends that hunt.
I do flyfish the saltwater and also surfcast with spinning gear. Often the more gnarly the conditions, the better it is for fishing.
Definitely keep us posted on your hunting adventures.
