Thread: Hunting Permits

Hello Everyone, new member here, I'm planning a solo, self guided 5 week backpack hunting trip from the UK to New Zealand South Island in February and March next year. I'll be after camp meat, so a goat, pig or young deer is all I'd be after, no

Trophies. Been doing lots of research and I'm aware I need to purchase Permits for hunting(recurve bow) and fishing on DOC land. The permits are valid for 4 months so I haven't purchased any as yet, but when looking at the DOC website I get the

impression that I'd need to buy a permit for every Block I intended to hunt in. Is it possible to buy a permit for either the whole of the South Island or maybe just regions, also how much do they cost, I can't see any prices on the DOC website.

Many thanks,

Nick
