Thread: Hunter coming from Denmark need help

Hey guys I think you are being a bit tough on the guy but in any case
@MagnusDenmark
I think you may have left it too late to apply for a visitors licence and in any case I think you have to state where (as in address) you intend to safely store your firearms when not in use.
Rifles in NZ are not usually available for "rent" so this option is probably not a viable one even if you managed to get a visitors licence in time.
With out knowing your skil level I would suggest possibly the east side of the southern alps may be your best bet for Tahr and Chamois and also most likely the safest in terms of less injure the hunter.
You don't say how much alpine experience you have? Here in NZ we have no nasty animals or snakes or spiders to do you in but the environment is pretty unforgiving and kills experienced outdoorsmen and women every year. Its not too be underestimated.
PLB and Inreach I would suggest are necessities.

I think your best chances of hunting here (and better chance of success) would be to post a bit about yourself and experience and make contact with some local hunters thru the forum in the middle of the South Island who may just be prepared to let you tag a long with them.


As I have aged I am more of a Range shooter here in NZ my only "hunting" mainly now consist of filling the freezer so its the closest deer to the car or preferably the tractor or side by side.
In fact its not really hunting at all, its shooting there is nothing sporting or hunting really about it at all.
