The MSC numbers are right off the wall. The only thing you need to register for to hunt game animals is for a permit to hunt on public conservation land. In the last few years about 34,000 different individuals got a DOC permit to do that . NZDA membership is roughly a quarter of that. A decade ago Fish and Game used to sell about 32,000 game bird licenses a year, but I don't know what the number is now.
