Duck in New Zealand dont migrate, this means they are in our area
the whole hunting season.
Ducks are very weary early in the season due to hunting pressure but by
the start of june have
settled and are getting hungry as we get further into
winter. This helps the hunter as the ducks
are now feeding in young grass fields and grain that
is fed to stock by farmers, also they are
decoying and coming into calling much better than they were
in the earlier part of the season.
Our native new zealand paradise duck and the cunning mallard are our
main ducks hunted.
We hunt mornings and evenings with layout blinds , hay bale blinds ,and
permanent blinds.
On fields , ponds , rivers swamps and back waters with decoys ,
robo ducks and silhouette's
Paradise
duck is native only to New Zealand and a pair make a prized taxidermy memento
of a
great trip down under. Hunt them over decoys in
fields or on water.
Large groups most welcome with transfers from
Queenstown and Dunedin .
Accommodation available close to prime hunting.
Hunting equipment supplied ie: shotgun , ammo , waders , license .
