    Makes a change from DOC killing them I guess! They'll be glad to have someone else to blame this time.

    It was a founding member of NZDA who found them (again) so lets just call this square?

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Thats a shame but lets keep it real. I seem to remember a DOC guy shooting one once on the coast.
    Darwin had a theory once. If an Auckland NZDA member can get one then maybe they should be extinct. Ha Ha Ha Ha
    Fuc i hope that was funny coz ive been drinking again and dont want a telling off

    Not only did some idiot[s] negligently kill 4 of 250 odd birds remaining of an endangered species, their fuckup reflects very badly on the rest of us, as does anyone that laughs it off

    This makes me really mad!

    Deerstalkers to shoot gamebirds??

    To be fair most of the members are city folk who may get out once a month to take their gun for a walk. They are NOT experienced hunters and certainly not the professionals required to do a delicate job like this!

    It is quite clever of DOC, get someone else to do a job for free (probably) and then when it gets buggered up they have someone else to blame.

    The report did mention they were told to only shoot them on the wing........

    "The hunters were carefully briefed on how to tell the difference between them, including instructions to only shoot birds on the wing, he said."

    Not good at all. Takahe breeding pairs form very strong bonds. Considering that only a portion of the 200-250 remaining birds are at a viable breeding age, something like this can have a massive impact on genetic diversity and species survival.

    It's gotten to a point where chicks from one pair are sent to a different part of the country to increase diversity. One of the female chicks from the pair at Karori Sanctury (when they were still breeding at Mana Is) went up to Mangatauteri.
