Thanks recreational hunters here have access to a large range of game animals red deer roar have started now in some areas thru to April. May is our duckshooting season & upland birds pheasants, cali quail etc, we have free roaming turkeys & Canadian geese we chase them no limits and turkeys too. Sika rut hunting from late march to may, we do have Elk here thanks to POTUS 26 under management controlled hunting blocks and they use a ballot system thats in South Island. It's a shame the Moose didn't get a chance to breed they were sadly "killed off" I liked the US Big horn sheep they would thrive over here for sure.
