Hunting the Far North of New Zealand
Posted: Thu Dec 23, 2010 5:54 pm
Hi everyone. Thought I'd introduce myself. I am a hunter living in the Far North of Aotearoa (New Zealand). I hunt Ducks, Parradise Shelduck, Swan, Quail, Turkey, Pheasant, Rabbit, Hares, Possums, Pigs, Goats, Stoats, Rats and Ferrel Cats. I also enjoy Fishing and Diving. 
I am a Possum hunter by trade. I shoot and trap them and pluck their fur to sell to people who make warm clothing from it. I get about $100NZ / Kelogram for the fur. 
I also use the meat for cooking and make sausages from them. View the posts in www.sausagemaking.org I also use it to feed my dogs. They love em and are very healthy. 
The Possums we get here are very different to the ones you guys will be used to eating roadkill and other nasty garbage. Our possums eat the best of our native bush hence they are a tastey pest. 
I am looking after one of the biggest wetlands in the North of NZ. Extreamly good waterfowl hunting. I am targetting the pests to help them breed, policing the boundrys from poachers and help with the recovery and reliese of injured wild waterfowl.
