Thread: When are the NZ game bird seasons on Sth island?

I am happy to take you out if you pm me. Shooting season for parries and geese starts in Feb. I am in Canterbury and shoot on lake ellesmere. To answer the species question we have grey teal but you aren't allowed to shoot them. We have the Pacific black duck but it's interbred with mallards in most places. We have the shoveler duck and despite the low limits we shoot them most times we go out. We shot a lot of paradise ducks which I believe have a relative in oz and geese. We also shoot black swans if you want to take a dead bird pic to shock your mates back home.
