Thread: Hunting in NZ, is it too easy?

Two points I would make;


1)

I would rather like to see something statistical regarding the alleged monopolization of a ballet system I personally know nothing about by internationals, the comments indicated on this thread also indicate many local's to NZ are unaware. I'm unsure if locals are unaware how internationals are going to make better use?


2)

My gut would indicate 90% of the international hunters visiting New Zealand to hunt are doing so on a safari style with large budget and contribute greatly to hunting scene and economically. NZ hunting culture and the do it yourself attitude, the attitude required to head out into the hills on public land and the gear, knowledge and most importantly time are not something most people are going to have on a 2-4 week "standard" holiday. That most working class people can take.

The largest competition to wild game on public land (doc) would be from student or backpacking internationals whom have the time 1-3+ months and the connections with locals to help either get them started and/or take them out to have a go, personally I encourage this.
