No shooting anywhere on most Canterbury river beds with rifles.
Shotguns only during game bird season, but there are still no go areas. Areas listed in licence booklet.
Thanks for that might get a license then and have a go at a bit of duck shooting as well. cheers for that
Here's some info from ECAN regarding hunting/shooting
Hunting and shooting
Can I shoot rabbits, possums or game birds on Environment Canterbury land?
Ah bugger im guessing it applies to the rangitata as well, Any idea how to find out who owns certain areas of the riverbed?

DOC often have info on who particular land owners are if their property is adjacent to conservation land, especially as often enough you need that information if you want angler access to riverbeds etc.. I'd call your local DOC branch or go in and visit them and ask..Quote:
