Thread: Rabbit Hunting around Dunedin Area

Hi all, I've been struggling for some time to find good rabbit hunting locations. I am based in Dunedin and I find it a cheap fun hobby, and rabbits cause a mess so its a win win. The only DOC blocks for rabbits I can find are in lawrence areas. I was hoping if anyone is / knows of landowners/ farmers a little closer to Dunedin that are struggling with rabbits damaging their properties would be interested in having me come up every now and then. Any leads would be appreciated cheers.

Drive up the peninsula and knock any door.
The place is crawling

Drive up to Tekapo with 500rd box of 22.You run out of ammo in half a day if you are a good shot.

Head down Waihola way and knock on some doors, there are literally thousands by the rail tracks

And sooner than that if you’re a poor shot.

Hi, I used to hunt rabbits around the Cape Saunders lighthouse area. There's a valley just down below the road that was crawling with rabbits a couple of years ago. The owner is retired and lives in Mosgiel, I forget his name but it shouldn't be too hard to find out. He had no worries about me going out there, even though I only called him and he had never met me.
