Thread: Moved from Australia to NZ.

Another Ex-pat Aussie. I have found the rules over here far more consistent and far less confusing than back in Australia.

In SA I needed a range because there was sweet FA to hunt. My goat properties dried up when the cockies worked out they could get more for a Goat in the Middle East then they could a Sheep. And Foxes and Cats got boring after awhile.

Over here is paradise, the place doesn't look like cardboard and ready to burst into flames 4 months of the year, there is no wriggle sticks to dodge, you don't have to carry 12 litres of water on your back for an overnighter, and there is huge areas of public accessible hunting areas.

Like the other guys have said you need to probably ask around to find a less "formal" place to shoot.... but you are far more likely to find like minded people to help you out over here than back in Australia.
