New to this forum. Planning first time hunt in NZ.

[longshot]

Hi All,

Our intention is to not step on any toes and be very respectful of the New Zealand overall customs, so some pointers regarding this would also be great. Thanks in advance.

Thats a good thing to ask. Just coming with that intention is the main thing. Don't be afraid to ask more and clarify as you go. One thing about many NZers, they don't like to start the conversation with someone about that someone doing something wrong. So don't assume that if no-one said anything, that what you are doing is fine. A hard thing to navigate I know but it is part of our culture.

One thing that will really help to inform the answers to your questions, is what hunting experience do you already have?. Details of landscape and species are helpful. We don't have snakes or bears or animal really that is dangerous. Our terrain and climate is not to be taken lightly, especially in Tahr country.
