Thread: aerial culling still happening

Today 10/10/21 while out unting up wallabies with good mate,we heard chopper approaching,saw big dark blue/black notail fly past and land on road by our vechile...then it flew back over top of us,definately saw us on ridge..no wave etc...few minutes later we heard them start shooting...then kept shooting....some time later flew back to road....and back up for more shooting...heard 35 or more shots...then it dissapeared and we did not see it return by mid after noon when we left area...Doc vechile with fuel /jerry cans parked within 200 yards of where our truck was.

now weird/strange/frustrating thing......its a Sunday,in school holidays in often hunted public land...... where was notification culling was about to happen????
where was warning signage at roadside block entrance????
99% sure wallabies were sideline targets and big hairy goats were main target as most of time the whirly bird was up in shingle n bluffs.....
we were north of waitaki and south of rangitata east coast....
anyone care to shed some light on this????
we still managed to have good walk,shot half dozen wallaby and a rabbit....
