Thread: Whanganui river hunting

Just be aware that there has been quite a lot of change to the smaller DOC hunting blocks in the area around Pipiriki.

I can’t be specific about the changes because it’s five years since I was last at the DOC office there, but at the time a very helpful young Maori fella went through all the different hunting blocks with me on my Memory Map app. Some of them had reverted to local iwi control and this was not reflected in the app. Consequently there were a couple of nasty incidents down there with hunters’ vehicles were damaged. Some of you on here will know that there is quite a history down there.

I know a good few folk from that area and the riverlands to the north, and it’s fair to say you don’t want to end up somewhere you shouldn’t be.

So just make sure you have all the latest info.
