That's kind of interesting, if we looked at the history of NZ settlers the right to hunt and fish freely has been historically and culturally important. I clearly remember being taught that one aspect of egalitarianism in NZ revolved around getting away from the hunting culture in the UK (where rich land owners restrict access to waterways and land).

I think that concept is in regard to the indigenous fish and birdlife. The red deer as one example were introduced here by wealthy individuals and groups for their sport and not for the great unwashed
