Thread: God Damn is NZ really this expensive???!!!!

Summit,
It all boils down to whether you want "real" hunting or "behind the fence off the back of a quad bike" hunting.

As some of the advice above shows, you can hunt NZ's PUBLIC LAND ( DOC " Dept of Constipation" does not own the land !!) for free just like us NZ'ers. However it would be sensible, as other have advised, to hire a "hunting guide" so you would have a better chance of actually seeing something AND coming back in one piece!!! Guiding fees vary a lot so shop around. Ones I know of charge from $500nz per day with extra $'s for choppers etc.
So good luck, get over here as soon as you can & experience REAL hunting.

Remember also, that with proof of firearm ownership at home you can obtain a " NZ Visitor's Firearms Licence" from the Police desk at the airport. This lasts for 12 months & allows you to purchase firearms & ammo.
