Thread: Whanganui river hunting

Thanks Reindeer, looks like you have the info. Just for my own positive confirmation, is it legal to hunt in the river trench during the winter months/off season, it is something I am keen to do one day

@longshot yep. winter is all good. There isn't supposed to be any operators (with concessions) working the river in winter (1st June 30 Sept).
For the Mangapurua, Bridge to No where and Whakahoro tracks DoC advised us (Hunting & Outdoors Wang) that they will not undertake any track clearing or maintenance in this area during winter off period also.
This is due to cost and regularity of works during winter. Kinda why the farmers all walked out of the valley all those years ago.
