Cranfield Posted November 26, 2002 Report Share Posted November 26, 2002 Welcome kiwi, whilst wood pigeons are our main interest, you can see that we shoot other quarry and discuss many varied matters. You will "be at home" here. :thumbs: I suppose its not worth you entering the competition,as its a long way to come, to claim your prize. :0 We are becoming Pigeon Watch International. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernyha Posted November 26, 2002 Report Share Posted November 26, 2002 8) Kiwi old mate,old buddy, forget what Cranfield said about not entering the competition.Enter and if you win,transfer the prize to me and in return I will send you a copy of Sporting gun by AIR MAIL for 12 months as soon as it hits the newsagents over here.Now what could be fairer than that? :music: :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red_stag88 Posted November 27, 2002 Report Share Posted November 27, 2002 talking about geese, my dad used to shoot them with an eight bore hammer gun (no he is not the one i mentioned in the poll!!!!) as the cartreges are quite expensive we load our own, the geese certainly dinnt fly after one batch we made!!!

kiwi Posted November 28, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2002 they are starting to phase it in . the area i shoot i have to use it on waterfowl in may 2004 but the fishand game areas that are set aside four duck hunting and nature reseves, the ones u are alowed to shoot in .they have to use it in 2003 we will still be able to use lead for upland and i think its the whole country by 2005 that will be maybe all waterfowl.so we are new to steel and like u a lot of shooters dont now much about steel. on opening weekend first saturday in may about 50.000 duck hunters hit the swamps lakes and rivers most shooters hunt duck in nz we have a lot of wild pheasent and quail in my area in the north island but we do not have the type of shooting driven birds that u have in most of nz it is ilegal to drive game. in the last 2 years they did a law change and now there are a few (not meany 5-6) game farms where u can hunt razed and releast birds like u have. most of new zealands upland game hunting is rough shooting with or with out dogs the lab is probly the most comon hunting dog we do not payfor or hunting except for a hunting licence which costs about 30 pounds for all gamebirds for all the season or bird hunting is about the same as the amercans where befour they opened up there laws on leasing hunting right thank god its still ilegal in new zealand to gharge people to hunt birds and to lease hunting rights osr sell game birds it is all so ilegal to guide bird hunts here but no ones been prosercuted and people do it i hope leaseing never happens here or we may end up the same as amerca where it all went crazy and the only place a lot of people can find to hunt is public lands and hunting rights skyrocketed out of the commen mans pocket in some placers . we have funn bill :( :thumbs: any more and a good look at nz hunt the governing body is www.fishandgame.org.nz i also like this amercan site www.waterfowler.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
