DiY New Zealand Chamois and Tahr

[Hunterjakeg]

Just got back from a 2 week solo hunt in Westland with my recurve.

How is it with a bow over there? My dad and I are looking to spend a few weeks in NZ chasing stag, fallow, tahr and chamois. The outfitter I spoke with highly discouraged using a bow…. But we’re more in it for the experience of seeing animals and stalking even if we come home empty handed. I see you’ve been quite a few times. Can I PM you?

There's no doubt it is a low odds proposition with a bow and more so with a trad bow.

Depends on what your priorities are. If you want to shoot one with a bow then you have to use a bow.

PM is fine

In regards to chassis on a rifle. Pistol grips are illegal in NZ.

I'm a Kiwi living in Alaska. I have also taken rifles home from the USA and I know the process reasonably well. I'd be keen to help anyone going, send me a PM.

I dont think so. I know a lot of guys in NZ with rifles in chassis. There are even NZ made chassis like this company https://www.dpt.co.nz/shop/filter/category=37370/

Yeah, you might be right; I may have confused the old law with ARs; the free-standing pistol grip wasn't legal. There were some goofing grips out there, like the California legal ones. But ARs are limited to E-Cat licenses now, so not a big issue for most.

I know a way to find out. Try to take one in.
