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 with layout blinds , hay bale blinds ,and permanent blinds.
On fields , ponds , rivers swamps and back waters with decoys , robo ducks and silhouette's
The afternoon is spent hunting other animals ie: turkey , quail, deer , pig , goat or smallgame

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 .
