The NZ Pig Hunting Association acknowledges the Government’s decision to allow hunting on private land under COVID-19 Alert Level 3.

“While we wanted to see hunting allowed across both public and private land, the rules as outlined by the Government will still allow a good number of pig hunters to once again provide free range food for their families,” says NZPHA Executive Member Geoff Fitzgerald.

“These rules will also be useful to many landowners who badly require pig hunters to come and deal with pigs that are encroaching on crops and pasture.”

The rules the Government have set out for hunting under Level 3 include:

• Hunting is allowed on private land with the landowner’s permission
• Hunters need to stay within their region and stick to their bubble
• Overnight trips are prohibited
• The use of quad bikes and other motorised vehicles is prohibited
