Game Bird Hunting in Otago
The Otago Region offers veritable smorgasbord of game bird hunting from mallards on large coastal wetlands to upland game upon briar rose-strewn Central Otago hills.
In between there are countless pond and river bank hunting opportunities, along with small stream stalking and evening shooting over grain crops. Otago pretty much has it all when it comes to game bird hunting - all you have to do is get a licence and get out there. See below for more Otago game bird hunting information.
