North Otago (Oamaru)
NZDA
The North Otago Branch of the New Zealand Deerstalkers’ Association (NZDA) is based in Oamaru and brings together hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, and conservation-minded members of the community.
We provide a place to connect, learn, and share knowledge about responsible hunting and the outdoors.
Our branch is proud to have led the design and construction of Kahikatea Lodge, a backcountry hut in the Waianakarua Scenic Reserve.
