I have actually looked at real estate there as I like it so well.

What did you find out?  Is it possible for a foreigner to own a small piece of property in a good hunting area?

They will sell you land, but it's hard to become a citizen if that matters to you.

Nope I like being a U.S. Citizen.  I don't want to hi-jack this thread, I'll start a different one.  Thanks Dale!!

I have looked into it as well. As of last year you had to have a high power degree that can help the country or bring in at least 300,000 when you move and apply for citizenship. Lucky for me my wife is in the medical field and has one of those Fancy degrees :IBCOOL:

Spent 2 weeks out of Christchurch running hard.  My buddy and I shot a dozen wild pigs, 60-80 wallabies and I got a chamois.  We saw thar, stag etc. just couldn't seal the deal.  The weather was warm and the stags didn't really start cutting loose untill the second to last day.  All total we spent about 2500-2700 apiece for the trip.  1100 for the plane ticket 700 for the helicopter, and the rest on food and diesal.  Everything we did was on our own with advise from friends there and no high fenced animals.  Was a great trip.

Possum shooting is a kickass time too.  :tup:

I never tried eating the wallabies or possums, but we did eat kangaroo in AU, it wasn't real good and all I could think about while chewing on it was that I was eating a big rat.  :chuckle:

Was that stag high fence or free range? I couldn't see eating wallabies cause of the rat impression too
