Hunters may apply to the Department of Conservation for approval to take dogs into other reserves where consent for access to reserves has been obtained in consultation with the neighbouring landowners.
No dogs are allowed on any farmland from 1 July to 30 September each year for reasons of farm management during the calving/lambing season. Respect this temporary restriction to maintain a good hunter-farmer relationship.
Dogs must be kept on a lead while using public walking and farm access ways. Dogs must be under strict control while using the public walking tracks so as not to cause distress to other recreational users.
