To get set up as a Game Changer NZ hunter, you need to:
- Complete the sign up form with Wild Game Recovery Trust
- Enrol on this course. To enrol you'll need a free Better Hunting account - see the self-enrolment instructions below.
- Once you're enrolled, complete the knowledge check. There are ten questions and it'll take about three minutes.
That's it! We’ll confirm you as a Game Changer NZ hunter and be in touch to let you know when you're needed.
Once you're on a hunt to donate, you'll log your return through here. This checks the animal was not recovered from a poison zone, records key details, and gives you a donation ID. That ID goes with the animal to the butcher, so meat can be tracked through processing and on to the food bank.
