My latest DOC permit says:

No firearm shall be discharged:
• In the vicinity of huts, tracks, campsites, road-ends or other public places.
• Within 500m of a Great Walk Hut or track.
• In a manner that endangers, frightens or annoys members of the public.
• In a manner that endangers any property.

Also, DOC signage at a few of my hunting spots says "Keep to the tracks" (due to Kauri die-back).

So... Hunting is allowed, but keep to the tracks, and don't discharge a firearm in the vicinity of a track. Good one.
