Northland Hunting

The Northland Fish and Game Region extends from a line midway to a point between the North Head and South Head of the Kaipara Harbour, then running due east to a point just North of Wellsford and then a line running northeast to Mangawhai Heads. The Northland Fish and Game Council administer the game resources North of this line up to Cape Reinga and North Cape. The area offers a diverse range of hunting opportunities and encompasses 10 different Gamebird species.

To hunt on any private lands hunters must approach the landowners directly. If hunters wish to hunt on public administered lands then they need to contact the Northland Fish and Game Council office to obtain a permit.
