5 Hunting of Waterfowl on Upland Game Properties
Lindsay Lyons sought clarification of the NZ Council stance on allowing the owners of
pheasant preserves (Upland Game properties with special conditions) to privately hunt ducks
on their own pheasant preserves during the hunting season, but not during days of any
organised commercial pheasant hunts. Mr Lyons explained that he felt this would be a small
concession to make for these land owners, in recognition of the benefits that accrue to
ordinary game bird hunters from the routine escape of preserve upland game to adjoining
areas where these birds become more available to these hunters.
While it was explained that current National Policy on this matter only refers to ‘guidelines’
there was little support within the NZ Council for this proposal, given the original
understandings under which upland game preserves had first been authorized.
Resolved (Dave Witherow/Paul Stenning)
That Fish & Game New Zealand does not allow hunting of waterfowl on upland
game properties with special conditions.

how does this equate to aw doing this in 2009/10
Waterfowl shall not be hunted on specified property on the same day that a pheasant or red legged partridge hunt takes place on that property.
