Bird hunting for the men from Malta

Specialist bird hunters Charlie and Dan travel to New Zealand each year, Charlie has had five trips to take advantage of the New Zealand bird hunting, summer season.

In James’s hunting region they offer a special Paradise Duck hunting season for population control, this coincides with the grain harvest for farmers. A typical day involves early starts for set up then we are ready to shoot at 5am. The Paradise Ducks start arriving at daylight and are often accompanied with Canadian Geese. Please note there is no season for Canadian Geese, they can be hunted all year round.

With a daily limit of 20 Paradise ducks per Hunter, this is achieved most days. At about 9am the pigeons start to arrive and the middle of the day involves a well earned rest at the scenic beach house accomodation after which we set up for an evening Duck and Goose hunt.

An interesting option that can be included is an exhilarating Turkey hunt.

Nearly all of James’s Bird Hunt clients are repeat customers which speaks for itself.
