Firstly, get authoritative information from NZ Police, and Department of Conservation (DoC). The below is only rough guidance.

Of the 'open country', this is controlled by either the occupier (in the case of farm land), or DoC (above). By and large, hunting is prohibited in built-up areas.

In New Zealand, any weapon capable of propelling a projectile is classed as a 'firearm' - even if no 'fire' is involved. And for which a Firearms Permit is required - obtainable from NZ Police.

Permission to enter land for the purpose of hunting should be got from the 'occupier' or from DoC, as appropriate.

Most feral animals have no hunting limits. Deer, chamois, thar, rabbits, mustelids, goats, possums and so on.

But many farms rear deer and goats, so just because you see a deer or goat, you aren't necessarily free to have a crack.

Game birds, pheasant, quail, ducks, swan etc have a bag limit and a particular season for allowed hunting. And hunting permits for these are necessary.
