Thread: Turkeys upper South Island

Kia ora folks, I was turkey hunting with my break barrel on private property yesterday and only found out just before the hunt that the owner sometimes feeds the animals. So they were not wild and real easy to shoot which was disappointing. I am now looking for truely wild animals on the upper South Island if possible or further south. Can you point out general areas where to look for them? I could not find anything on the web.
Also, is it generally quite easy to hunt turkey here in NZ? I like the meat but I also like hunts to be challenging ;-)
