Thread: Lets talk about Pukeko hunting.

If you can corner them with three of you in a gulley and when in season you can have a ball with them. Best record was 30 in half an hour between three of us. That slowed em down a lot. they seemed to get confused where to fly with the eco. So sat up in the trees and easy to take with the shot gun. Also a slower flyer than ducks so easy on the wing when in season. With a good back stop Id used a 22mag which would remove the whole chest which was a lot better than a 22lr as the feathers seemed to absorb a lot of the shot and would result in runners. Not a good thing. They do make good eel bait.
