Thread: Where to Small Game Hunt with an Air Rifle (in North Canterbury)

Hi all! I'm new to the scene, and was looking at getting into some light, recreational small game shooting (from having zero hunting or shooting knowledge at all). A few places have suggested an air rifle is a good place to start for target and small game, and means I won't need to get a FAL. Aside from an air rifle I'd also consider learning to use a now, but that's about my limit considering I'm as green as them come.

I've since contacted DOC about getting a small game licence to start my journey. Apparently you can't hunt on public conservation land with an air rifle. So my question is - where can you hunt with one? Only private land? In which case I'd know no one.
