Thread: Canterbury Small game permit - DOC changes

For the last year and a half I've been emailing the Waimakariri DOC office for small-game hunting permits. They were real easy to get. I'd email them my details and usually they'd email me back with the permit to print and sign, or mail me one straight away. These permits covered North Canterbury/Arthur's Pass and this DOC office told me I can go anywhere in these areas with this small-game permit.

I tried applying this week for the same deal, only to be told that doesn't happen anymore, I need to apply for specific areas. Which of course, they never told me where these areas are.

I've spent so much time trying to find somewhere to hunt rabbits and now I have no info on where to go. Does anyone actually know what areas I can apply for this permit now? All I want to do is shoot some fucking rabbits.
