It has been decided that we will post a "stickie" - like the Picture Posting one - on the does and donts and hows and why s of overseas hunters coming to New zealand.

Top Predator and I will collate this information and hopefully we will get an informative guide for those overseas hunters so they can go direct to the top of the forum list rather than posting endless queries about the same subject.

So - please send TP or myself your ideas as to what they should know , via the private message system. Ideas to date are info about the lack of game seasons or tags , gamebird and fish seasons /licence requirements , firearms import requirements , seasons for trophy hunting , game species and where to find them...

Specific information on these areas and any others please so we can make a useable guide for overseas hunters.

Overseas guys can certainly have input if it is relevant to some aspect of their trip - we arent interested in a fight over helicopter hunting or spotlighting deer or whatever else - including the subject of enclosure hunting . if the action is lawful here it will be on the list , ethical issues wont be entered into here.

Thanks in advance , look forward to your input.

Don't forget to add info. on hunting crocs in NZ for those from Illinois.

And another on 'Time Machine Construction for Dummies"... for the 'NZ Croc Hunters'.

I will cover caliber and bullet choice for N.Z croc hunting in the thread for those interested.

James, can we go croc hunting the next time I'm done there?

In my bookmasrks the firearms laws for NZ are listed as http://nzhunt.com/laws/html. This should work. Did this as part of my research on my croc pet food project which disappeared from the general site. At least I aroused some productive interest before being fed to what is likely some OZ crocs.
