Interesting. I've been to the Rakaia ones for a walk and have a look and I saw a nice hare and some geese but I didn't know if shooting is allowed because I read that as about Waimakariri rabbit shooting is prohibited. Only bird shooting in Waimak but I've seen nothing there. Only people driving, walking, biking, speedboating etc.

very kind of you

Due to the area you want to hunt having, and I quote,...people driving, walking, biking, speed boating etc...do you really think that that is a good place to take a shot gun for a blast?

In fairness ,it's a very vast area 150 ks long with gorse and scrub and willow mostly . There are areas to hunt safely with a shotgun . I hunt quails over my dog with limited success up river .

What kind of shotgun are you getting? or intending to get. I could help you with gun fit if you wish so its suitable for clays & game

Nop, that is no good place for shooting. This could be the 8th rule. "Don't go shooting in a place where other people are driving, walking, biking, speed boating etc"... but as Munsey says even if its a narrow strip, its a very long area and probably there are some good safe spots somewhere that I don't already know

I am a NZCTA Coach & often come across guns that are for sale when helping to fit new guns or upgrades for other shooters. Have you tried Gun City as they have some very good Japanese import semi auto shotguns cheap like $199 cheap for recoil operated ones, you just have to get one choked to suit what its main use will be.
