Thread: An Australian wants to hunt in New Zealand

Getting your NZ license and DOC permits are a piece of piss, the shit part is getting your guns out and back in to Australia. You will note the NZ side of customs treat you like a normal human being while the Australian side will treat you like a criminal, man I love my arsehole country.

Where about's in SA are you from? You a fallow hunter mostly?

Yeah, I'm from Adelaide but only recently moved down here, gone shooting once in rural SA at a mates property for goats. I used to go hunting heaps out bush on properties in NT for buff and pigs, but haven't really had to opportunity to go on a decent long hunting trip, and from what I've heard about New Zealand apparently its the place to go for an awesome hunting/fishing trip.

I just applied for the permits which I received immediately free of charge (which I cant believe seeing in Australia you have to pay for every single permit for anything), but if I already have a South Australian firearms license, do I need to apply for a New Zealand firearms license aswell or can I go hunting with my license?
