Introduction

Hunting is restricted in Molesworth as it is both a recreation reserve and a working farm, and there is a need to balance the requirements of both. Red deer, chamois, goats, pigs, and Canada geese are found here.

Our team is currently working through a backlog of applications. We apologise for the delay and appreciate your patience.
