Hunting season
Rakiura has a population of introduced white-tail deer, and is the
only place in New Zealand where these animals can be hunted in
the wild on conservation land.
Hunting occurs all year round in Rakiura National Park. You may
see hunters with guns as they travel to their hunting blocks.
Hunting is not permitted near the track but you may hear guns
fired in the distance.
