Thread: Molesworth in march

Im seriously thinking of doing a trip down south to the march Molesworth shoot, who else is keen for a trip away

Is it a goose shoot Z ?

yep, canada geese

Will you use your cockers down there

not sure, depends on whether im flying or driving down, but my male cocker can retrieve geese

If youre flying it would sure be wise to team up with a few to pay gas and ferry crossing or take out a mortgage to do the trip !!!! LOL\
How hard is it or costly is it to fly with a dog in NZ ??

that cocker does a fair bit of flying when retrieving geese.

They can go as checked luggage. Need a crate. cost about $30. Well this was the case a few years back.

Air New Zealand changed their rules for transporting animals at the start of October. You now need a better cage than before, small ones are about $120 plus.
The NZ dog trial team found this out on the way back from Aussie. They went over in September with old cages sweet as, Went to come back "Sorry boys those cages aren't up to scratch you'll need to buy these ones to get your dogs back". Some very pissed off fellas apparently.

And from memory it is either $50 or $100 for the extra item

nice one. Right in the roar time. wear some orange.

I've been shooting the Rainbow, Molesworth, St James area for 20 yrs for geese and animals
Was in there last week
You wont see anyone with a rifle where birds are shot in March or any other time of the year except certain areas of St James and they shoot like shit anyway.
Leave the dog at home, there is only a couple of spots that warrant one, and then you have a boat in the party anyway

On a serious note I'm effing keen to get down there. Shoota, you can bring your dog too as it makes carrying geese so much lighter when theres only some wings, legs and a head to carry.
