Thread: Hunting in NZ, is it too easy?

Now I am thoroughly confused. I thought the ballot block was for a particular region whilst the remainder of the fee ranges in NZ are open for hunt but you give the impression that if a Kiwi does not get a ballot then they can't hunt anywhere on the island during the roar. Is that really the case?


Learn to laugh at yourself and never be left unamused.

A lot of doc controlled hunting grounds all round nz are closed to public for the ballot period. Ballot permit winners/holders should be the only hunters in any given ballot block.
There is always open permit areas that anyone can hunt throughout the year and roar period, only issue is, we get all sorts of gimps running around firing at movement,colour etc when they should be at home doing the dishes.
