The hunting rules on the official Covid-19 website have recently been changed to remove the reference to region, which presumably means that region-wide hunting is no longer allowed. However the NZBS committee has decided not to reduce the maximum one-hour limit for allowing game claims. Be aware this is the maximum time and members would be well advised to choose a hunting area considerably closer to their home where possible. Police are continuing random checks on the road so if you are stopped you will need to be able to justify your journey.
