Thread: How do I go about finding places to hunt?

Ive only gone out hunting a few times. A couple of times I was with company who took care of me and took me to farmer's properties (both with abundant animals). One time I went on my own to a public reserve (and saw nothing there)

Apart from going door to door asking farmers if they have animals on their property, what is a good way to find new land to hunt on? And how would I know if that land is legal to hunt on?

Is public DOC land worth looking in? Because im thinking since it is so easy to find these places and go in, there might be fewer animals. I could be wrong though. If i am wrong, il just keep looking. If I am right, how else do I find land with animals?
If door to door asking farmers if they have animals is the best way though, il try doing that.

I kinda just want to go out and nab a couple of bunny rabbits for meat at the moment.

I am also quite low on the fitness scale so i feel a bit embarrassed to hunt with someone else, as I am afraid I might slow them down. Does anyone here have a lower fitness level and want to hunt around Dunedin/Otago with me?
