Thread: Seeking Advice and Companionship for New Zealand Hunting Adventure

Blackforst's definitely a nice place. Living in Zürich so not too far away lol. I usually travel to NZ once a year to see family and friends plus bonus the of hunting. Firearms licence is pretty straight forward but you'll need at least 4 months before you fly to get it. Other option is to hunt with people that have one. NZ being different from Deutschland and that we have gun license not hunting a licence (I have this discussion every year with my Swiss hunting mate about what is better lol). South Island is better for red deer and less north islanders lol. Plenty of DOC land (public land) to hunt on but being the roar (brunft) when you are there it will be busy and you'll have to walk further than usual but if you're use to the Austrian mountains then you'll be alright.....
New Zealand Maps app is also very helpful seeing boundaries and public hunting land. Weidmanns heil
