Both Barrels - August 2015.

Welcome to this special edition of Both Barrels wrapping up the 2015 season.

For a start, while the mallard and grey duck season is long gone, there are still some hunting opportunities – at least until August 30.

If you haven't had upland game birds on your radar before, why not give this fast-paced hunting a try? At the risk of repeating ourselves, make the most of these opportunities to get best value from your gamebird licence.

Just be sure to check your regulations first.

Cock pheasant and quail can still be hunted in a number of North and South Island regions, along with pukeko and even paradise shelduck in some places.

P.S. Thanks to Nicholas Loan for the cover pic in this edition, make sure you check out the Fish & Game Facebook page to see more of Nicholas' pictures.

P.P.S - If you think you've got an image worthy of featuring on our 'cover', email it to Don Rood for consideration.

Hope you had a great 2015 gamebird season and until Next Season…
Happy Hunting!
