did 3 weeks on the north island , last year , unfortunatly didnt get chance to hunt, spent many hours in the gun shops, boring staff , with loads of questions about the country , and hunting.
fishing all you need is a licence , ithink about $95 n.z , and you can fish anywhere inthe country, rivers lakes whatever. no day tickets .
hunting can be carried out on any governement owned land , without permision, apart from gun licences of course. i am also led to belive these are fairly easy to get. and im sure there are no closed seasons
another great thing about N.Z the population
