    Hunting for Internation Visitors

    Howdy,

    American from the great state of Texas here. I'm planning to visit family in Christchurch for a couple weeks in April and hoping to do some hunting. Any advice/tips re. species, guides, locations, do's & don'ts etc. would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm primarily looking to do backpack/stalk hunting, but also an avid waterfowler. Open to anything style and species-wise really. Would love to combine hunting with some fishing too.

    Will be applying for a Permit to Import firearm (Kimber MA .308 and possibly a 12 ga.). Is a Permit to Import ammunition recommended, or is it fairly easy to source locally? Also planning on bringing the basic gear (pack, binos, tripod, etc.).

    Lastly, if there are any notorious gaffes/breaches of etiquette common to international (read: American) hunters, don't be shy. I don't mind looking like an idiot, but I don't want to be dick.

    Thanks and cheers,
    Sam
