Taranaki Forests hunting

The Taranaki region covers an area from the Patea River mouth in the south, to the Mokau River mouth in the North, inland to lake Rotorangi and north up to Ohura. There is over 128,000 ha of Public Conservation Land within this region, including Egmont National Park and the North Taranaki forests and reserves.

The hunting blocks are spread throughout the Taranaki area with mostly good road access. Goats and pigs are the main species hunted.

The area is characterised by steeply dissected hill country and a narrow coastal strip of uplifted marine terraces. Rivers run chiefly from east to west and have estuaries at the coast.
