    didnt realise how low things must be, a couple of rdr schemes turned off and a natural pond or 2 very low that aquaintances hunt.first time in 5 years apparently that they,ve ever been this low.
    our customary pre season rain is due in the next week or two tho.

    @Gapped axe, nothing nostalgic about it if you ever get a chance of buying a bottle of Pedro Ximenez Duquesa your expenditure will reward you...the Romate is good but just not quite as good as the Duquesa...Scenic Cellars at Taupo usually stock it...was first introduced to this nectar of the gods when on a duck shooting trip to Lake Bulloake, Victoria...

    @gsp follower, this was in 2012 and apparently the lake had been completely dry due to droughts for about ten years or so...the shoreline measures around 90 odd kilometres..it is HUGE...it is an amazing place...apparently over the drought years, the guys would hunt hares and rabbits on the lake bed...it was so neat for me to see the different ducks they have over there...

    Well the licence's fee is most of the reason I don't shoot birds or fish for trout.... It goes against the grain weather it is 5 dollars or 5000 dollars.

    This country was liberated/invaded/colonised whatever you want to call it and many animal's from around the globe were released here with a free for any man(or woman I guess/ probably not in those days)to hunt goal in mind.

    When the day comes I have to pay to hunt red deer and catch snapper/flounder Guy Fawks is going to have nothing on me!.

    I have nothing to do with trout other than spotting the odd one while hunting but yet I have to agree with this article, NZ is becoming the rich mans playground , it was slowly but surely but now it is the proverbial avalanche.

    yep given the restrictions in some nth island regions and short seasons i can uderstand your retisence and with eastern moving a motion to allow duck shooting on properties with special conditions [one of which is no duckshooting of any kind, cos given an inch they,l take a mile] it.l give other regions the precedent to allow it on there pwsc,s.
    NZ is becoming the rich mans playground , it was slowly but surely but now it is the proverbial avalanche.
    which will only reinforce that thinking inline with what a lot people think of driven pheasants
    my main problem with it is f&g might look at it as a easy way of replenishing duck numbers[ it aint] in aw and eastern therefore putting the expensive and long term process of rehabilatating the many stuffed lakes and waterways in the reigons in the to hard basket.

    DOCS STICKINN THE KNIFE IN TO by issueing release permits to associates of a pwsc[1200 birds] and stone walling f&g,s enquiries.
    looks like nick smiths plant to root f&g by making them irrelivent and undercutting thier authority is coming to fruition.
    despite what we may think if f&g goes we,l be the lesser for it we may need some change but not annihalation by a mob shitty cos they,re not getting thier own way with the water and farming practises.
