Thread: So what deer, etc are allowed to be shot?

All deer species in NZ are able to be shot as long as you have permission to shoot in that area.

In my mind every animal you shoot is a trophy, it may not be bigger than your last one but the stalk may have been better or it may have been harder to get to.

At the end of the day there will always be those out there that will bag you for shooting a spiker and those that will bag you for shooting that big 18 pointer and removing it from the breeding pool, if i ever see a fiordland moose you can be assured i will be trying to shoot the damn thing.

As long as the stalk / hunt was enjoyable for you who cares what every one else thinks.
