Thread: public land hunting access Taranaki deer and goats

im a relatively novice hunter trying to find public land to hunt deer and goats round the naki with public access , alot of what ive checked out is pig country. any ideas anyone ? particularly looking to do day trips at this stage.
cheers

Hunt anywhere other than Taranaki. There's a couple of very small pockets of deer on public land in Taranaki but you'll have more luck hunting another region

Yes, but there are heaps of goats in Taranaki which is great for the novice hunter and may I say Northland easily takes out first place for most shit hunting region.

Yes, which is why I'm still here. Saltwater fishing anyway, trout fishing isn't much better than the hunting situation. Saltwater is quite exceptional.

Don't think he works there any longer, MD ... he posted just above you !

And if you want a bit of company, on week days esp, from an old fella who does lots of reloading give us a yell....

Funny; I rang DOC Whanganui a while ago to clarify access points for a hunting block. Just to be on the safe side. The lady said to me "It makes a change for someone to ring us about hunting and not ask where the best spots are". She then laughed and said "We never tell them though because we like to hunt too"....

cheers mate appreciate it

Hi Knucks I highly recommend this

When we shifted down for work in the Naki (2007 to 2010) I joined up with the North Taranaki NZDA, great bunch of guys and I recognise a few names still on the committee (Robbie is a good Bugger), Went out on a few hunts that they organised including a fly in trip, range days and access to farms for duck shooting and rifle sight ins. Gave me way more than expected and once we are settled in an area will re-join the local NZDA again.

Cheers FBD
