Thread: Geraldine Hunters

Dont forget that pooks are protected gamebirds only took be hunted with a license in season. Don't get me wrong, I don't like the little duckling killing barstards and there are too many of them but just letting you know as you are new to the area.

I thought landowners/occupiers, or someone whom they appoint, can kill Pukeko year around for pest control if they become a pest, example to protect seedlings and young plants.

With a permit I think you can. Same deal with ducks, but its more a permit to allow you to "scare" them away

Correct Josh, but if they get too close then it is possible to scare them to death

No worries, boss filled me in on the rules. There are loads of them here, he asked me to sneak up and pop a few around the pump houses on the farm as they get covered in pukeko-crap otherwise.
