Hunters are advised not to hunt the area between Pugh Road and Brightwater due to safety issues with the proximity of the cycleway and roads.

  4. East Coast/Kaikoura Area: The area to the south of the Awatere Valley/Molesworth Road and the Redwood Pass Road.

  5. Shooting Hours
    6.30am to 6.30pm during May, then 6.45am to 6.15pm until 27 August 2017. For the remaining pukeko season, sunset to sunrise.

  6. Decoy Limit
    No limit.

  7. Magazine Extension
    No person may hunt or kill game birds, as specified, within the Nelson/Marlborough Fish and Game region with any magazine extensions on a shotgun of a bore smaller than 10 gauge (including 12, 16, 20, 28, 410).

  8. Special Conditions

  9. All permanent hunting stands/maimais used for the purposes of hunting of game on the Wairau Lagoons must be situated above the mean high water level.

  10. Moored camouflaged boats are permitted for hunting or killing game in the Wairau Lagoons, but shall not be within 200 metres of any other hunting stand.

  11. Farmers who hunt their own property under section 19 of the Wildlife Act 1953 are allowed to do so without having to purchase a licence, although they are subject to this notice and the Regulations. Those farmers who wish to do so can receive a current copy of the regional newsletter and national magazine. Contact the Nelson Fish and Game Council office to place your address on the mailing list.

  12. The pheasant season for all Crown Forestry land has been increased subject to usual forestry access hunting permit requirements. Although a permit/diary is required when hunting Crown forestry land, pheasant hunting on private land is no longer subject to diary/permit requirements. Permits are available on request from Nelson/Marlborough Fish and Game Council offices at no cost.

  13. Waimea Estuary. Due to the proximity of the cycleway, those hunting Pearl Creek and Neiman Creek are advised to use caution.
