The Kawerau Big 3 is a land based fishing and hunting competition for serious hunters!
The competition starts on Friday 17th August and ends on Sunday 19th August, this year we have a very important briefing at 6.00pm on Thursday 16th August at the Ex-Royal Navalmens Club in Kawerau. There will be important information and we are giving away one individual and one team entry fee plus spot prizes so make sure you attend the briefing, it will also be the last chance to enter the competition as entries close at 7.30pm on Thursday 16th August.
The aim is to bring in a stag, boar and snapper either as a team or individuals. This year a special prize will be awarded for the average boar, so make sure everyone weighs in their boars, as the average weight will not be know until everyone weighs in.
Final weigh in is 3pm Sunday 19th August at the back of the Ex Navalmens Club in Kawerau, followed by prizegiving.
Entry forms also available at Treadz Tyres, 8 Liverpool Street, Kawerau & Hunting & Fishing Whakatane.
Since the Animal Welfare Amendment Act was passed in May 2015, there are now specific offences relating to the reckless and wilful ill treatment of wild animals. Hunters have a responsibility to kill an animal as quickly and humanely as possible once it has been caught - even if the animal is classified as a pest.
