SpotX gamebird (31.3) Permits:NZ Game Bird Licence. Access:A small boat ramp launches into a side-creek that leads into the Makarau River. It is very tidal — prospect the area on an incoming tide, as the mud can be very deep in places. Hunting Tips:Small-boat hunting along the mangrove-lined rivers and creeks can be very productive, especially in the mornings and evenings when the birds are travelling to and from their feeding grounds.
