Pooks are on the game bird register, which means a licenced gamebird
hunter (eg me) can hunt them with a shotgun during the season, up to a
daily limit. eg, Auckland Waikato has a season on pooks from
01May2010 to 29Aug2010, with a daily bag limit of 10.

Find out where you are, and what the limits are, on http://www.fishandgame.org.nz.
The big bitch with pooks is that they have adpated a little too well
to humans, meaning that they'll be a nuisince in a place where you
cant legally discharge a firearm. I was once asked by an old collegue
to do just what you described, and rocked up to their place - which
was suburban. Not much I could do there!
If you need a friendly licenced game-bird-hunter *ahem* I know *ahem*
of one *ahem* who'll happily do a legal shoot.

If you're allowed to shoot birds in your garden, are you also allowed to
shoot hedgehogs, dogs, and cats?

I understand that if Pukekos are pest they can be shot by anyone in or
out of season. The same applies to Paradise ducks and Canada geese.
Pukekos make a nice strong soup!

LOL. Look, I know you didn't quote the person you "replied" to, but in my

Kind of puts your answer in a different light :-)

Not legally: "Game bird hunting can only be undertaken with a shotgun
of a calibre 10 gauge or less" and "It is an offence to hunt or kill
game unless the person holds a current game licence."

Are they out at other times? I'm looking at passing through that way
on the weekend of either the 8th or th15th August (which is still in
season), probably on Friday night and Sunday afternoon/evening to give
some central north island deer a scare. Doing a drive-by (even if
just to 'check it out') could be possible.
Do you have consent from any ajoining neighbours who might be
"disturbed" by a shotgun?
Do you have a real email address?

One can seek a special out-of-season permit from FishandGame, but from
experince:
- they'd rather cull as a last resort (prefering to to
move them on, or 'harvest' nests of eggs, or ...
- they'd rather do it themselves
- a few pooks in the garden is not considered
enough of an issue.
I've never heard of them giving a 'permit' to someone who does not
hold a gamebird licence.
It is worth noting that some farmers are seeking to have Canadian
geese removed from the register, so they can (legally) nail the mobs
of them that turn up all year round.
Roger Dewhurst
Knocking them off with an air rifle on a two acre block is hardly likely
to disturb anyone not observing with a pair of binoculars. Just do not
leave the feathers blowing around.
To change the subject. A hypothetical case. This is in an urban area.
You hear screams and go outside to see a pit bull type dog trying to
get at a child of about twelve to has managed to climb on top of one of
those green transformers you see along the street. The dog is almost
getting up on top after the child. The child's leg is streaming blood.
You quickly get your 12 bore, out of the cupboard in which it is locked,
load it with a couple of BB cartridges and shoot the dog. The police
appear in response to a telephone call from another neighbour. The
owner of the dog, also a neighbour is screaming blue murder.
What is the probable outcome? What should the outcome be?

I think that you will find a clause in the act which permits the
shooting of the birds IF they are doing damage.

One of the things in NZ firearms laws discharging a firearm is about
discharging a firearm that would "annoy, or frighten any person"

I thought two fully grown swans would have been able to see off a gang of pukes..obviously not. We used to watch said swans from our balcony, what a shame. I didn't realise how nasty they are. Yes if they are being a pest shoot them all year round.

He sat on a desk and cast his hand nonchalantly towards the neighbouring bush. Look, I know you people go out and kill and eat the odd wood pigeon.
But sometime I have always wondered- what do they actually taste like?
