Thread: North Canterbury public land hunting

I’m new to this group and have been reading threw a few of the forum looking for advice on public land hunting, iv been hunting for a few year now but mostly private blocks with family members working on farms ect. Currently don’t have access to much private blocks so I’m looking at heading out for a hunt In north Canterbury around Oxford area mainly just looking for meat animals. Just trying to work out the logistics of it all as I know there a lot of walking tracks around some areas are people abit funny coming across someone out for a walk with their rifle? As I plan on using a track but then heading off track for hunting, but am aware I may come across walkers in the process. Any advice would be great, even if anyone’s looking for someone to tag along for hunt on a day trip to kinda show me the dos and donts that would be greatly appreciated. But any advice would be awesome cheers.
