Turkey Hunting in New Zealand

Turkey hunting in New Zealand is something many hunters will experience while on their adventure in the country. In New Zealand the main species of turkey are the Merriam. The birds are found in centralised areas on private land around the country, and growing exceptionally large and old due to the lack of hunting pressure. Locals traditionally don`t hunt Turkey in New Zealand, and with the lack of natural predators numbers are very high. 

We are able to hunt these birds year round. The Merriam turkey breeding season in New Zealand is from October-November. Turkey hunting in New Zealand you are able to use Bow, Shotgun, or rifle hunt. Hunters coming during the main season February-August are able to add on turkey and water fowl hunts to their big game animal hunts. October-February we offer exclusive Turkey hunting packages that may also include wallaby, some of our horned animals and meat hunts.
