West Coast > Organised Hunts

ORGANISED HUNTS

Complaints about concentrations of gamebirds such as pukeko, paradise shelduck and Canada geese periodically prompts a need to direct hunters to where the problems are. For example pukeko and shelduck hunting success is often dependent upon a team of shooters working together. Organised hunts have become increasingly popular on the West Coast as access to good hunting becomes more difficult in other regions. Currently such hunts are arranged independently by a number of different clubs and organisations and Fish & Game will co-ordinate these where possible.

Please contact Fish & Game for information on what is happening, and when.

Fish & Game Nelson/Marlborough holds three organised goose shoots in the Marlborough high country in the course of the year. If this sounds like you phone your local Fish & Game office or 03 5446382 for details.

Enjoy your hunting on the 'Coast, comply with the few rules we have, and please show respect for landowners and your fellow hunters.
