I went 2 year ago, but only the north island , from what i saw travling round there werent great numbers of rabbits, but its hard to guess when your mainly on the road.

 

i have herd that the south island has big populations of rabbit.

 

theres lots of land and forest owned by the government, and from what i was told you DONT need permision here. but obviously do on farm land.

 

if ya like fishing , you only need a licence and can fish any where , non of this day ticket carry on. also herd gun licence is easy to get hold of. and theres no closed season on the 8 species of deer thay have there as there regarded as a pest.

 

in fact all the mamals in NZ are alian , all the best TOMO

i was in the south island a few years back, hunting boar with dogs, and lamping rabbits, great place and very frendly people, i don't think you'd have any bother getting permission

Put simply the younger the better. Not over 55. And trade wise if u google short term and long term skill shortage they are the 2lists of trades they want. Luckily motorbike mechanic is on the immediate short term one :-)
