Thread: pukeko problems

The Pate is a good idea. They do make an admirable tasty soup with one proviso, take the meat off the leg bones or better yet dont use the lower 'shank' (Drumstick) part of the leg because the bones there separate into long needle slivers when cooking

They'll wise up to a 22 pretty quick. If they're hiding out in a bit of wetland flush them with a dog and shot gun them. Otherwise 223 them at 300m or so.

I’ve bought a .22Stoger air rifle been banging on a secret location for a friend of a friend, they are a pest and come off the farm next door into a residential area!

SHOTGUN ONLY......during season...with licence...flying (or roosting in tree but aborting roost,eg in air with wings going) DO NOT shoot with .22lr its illegal....I cannot believe people are on an open forum, read by all sorts, including ANTIs, and are suggesting OP breaks the law.
#2-3-4-5 shot work...they arent hard to kill but can be hard to get close enough to do so.

Fish & Game are good to deal with, and can issue permits depending on the circumstances. The use of firearms other than a shotgun can be stipulated on the permit, so .22LR, and centrefire rifles can be used.
The birds shitting in the water troughs and giving the stock Salmonella, is a valid reason to get a permit.

the F&G guy was great once i finally got thru. his advice was to wait till th end of water fowl season then get a permit to use a supressed 22.

hell if the wifes horse caught a waterborn disease and died from pukeko shit i wouldnt mind
horse = a useless animal that turns $$ into shit.
but yeah i will wait till summer and 22 the buggers (pukekos that is)

Turns out the 17 Hornet is a very efficient tool to use on the Pukeko's, and fixes the "cannot get close" issue.
