I've done the same too....I was a keen oologist in my younger days and got rid when I started getting knocks over dog related things. Broke my heart to do it too and then I found out I was exempt

 

Sold a lot of bulldog books too.....wish I'd kept them now.

 

Also seen a few adverts for dog collars using my old dogs as advertising

 

 

what ye prefer the bird life over there or here/??

I've been pumping my brother for info on NZ win he lives in taupo he's looking to do some hog hunting but he's more into the rifles fishing is very good there rainbow trout are huge in taupo he said you can do pretty much with dogs as you like on private land but alot is owned by government sounds an amazing place though and the hunting mags he's sent over have been really good got a section for the kids totally different way of life and the way thay see hunting as a sport over there I hope to visit very soon atb donk

ive been to taupo donk,,,toured all round the north island,,, you can hunt on goverment land 7 days a week 365 days a year,,, theres no seasons for the deer cos there pests, and your right there hunting mags make ours look like shit,,,

 

yep they have big hunting/ fishing clubs,, and organise weekends where all the dog lads get together,,, like show,,, and have a comp to see who can kill the heaviest hog.....brlliant country

There must be 6 or 7 full colour glossy magazines here for hunting pigs alone.....then there's the deer hunting ones, the bow hunting ones, the shooting ones..................

You'll love it in Nz, or Oz. I've been to both a few times. Hunted around Tokaroa and Taupo, and stayed in a bach on the Coramandel for the fishing. Anyone wanting to hunt down there can do it thru' the professional guides, or just contact lads on the net, or call into any of the hunting shops, they will put you in touch with the local Hunting Clubs, most towns have a club. I'm certain Taupo has a Pig Hunting Club.

 

Cheers.

Yes mate, the bach we had was there. You just scrape a hole in the sand and you have a hot water pool in no time !!. Went to one of the hunters cabins in the Urewera when we were out pig hunting. The government provides them for hunters to use is you get stuck up there when the weather comes in.

 

Cheers.

I've fished the shore and boat, and it's unbelievable. I've only hunted pig with dogs in NZ, The lads I know shoot deer, haven't heard of them dogging them; that don't mean it isn't done, though.

 

Cheers.
