Thread: 1 Licensed Hunter, Two Rifles?

Right, to clear it up GOOGLE Hunting permits Firearms.
There you see 2 sites, one DOC and one Government site that explains it clearer than some other sites, ir one ROKTOY quoted.

I will paste the 2 below. This one on the Hunting Consevation Land/ NZ Government site
1 Hunting on conservation land
You’ll need to get permits for hunting on conservation or other government managed land.

Hunting basics

Rules for hunting on public conservation land

What kind of permits you’ll need
Each person in a hunting party needs a separate permit, whether you’re hunting with a firearm, bow or knife. Hunting after dark and spotlighting is illegal on conservation land.

Permits and licences

""""If you’re hunting with a gun, you need a valid New Zealand firearms licence. If you do not have one, you can only hunt with a gun if you’re with someone who does have a licence. You have to be sharing the gun, and they need to stay within arm’s reach of you while you’re using it.""""

Firearms licence

Along with your gamebird licence, you also need a gamebird hunting permit""


So clearly shows you have to share the "Gun"" , having 2 between the parties is a No No.


The Second one is from DOC.....Firearms licence - Hunting permits - Department of Conservation

When hunting under the immediate supervision provision:

only one firearm is permitted between the supervisor and the hunter
each person requires a hunting permit.




So there are the links, pretty clear. If you not looking that hard and just clink on a doc permit site it might not go into full detail but
these make it very clear.
Offically only one rifle between 2 parties if one is unlicenced.. hope that proves what im saying
Cheers
