Where have you been. Check out Pigs being released on Molesworth Station by DOC and Animal Health Board.

Pigs are no more prone to spreading TB than Sheep.
Anyway this subject was covered very well in Rushy's thread in
OFF TOPIC.. Page three NZ HERALD NEWSPAPER ARTICLE...Time Bomb Pigs released in Southland.

I just havnt the time to complete you education.

While you are scratching around Savage find me the appropriate article where it shows it is an offence to buy a pig and put it on your farm.

Ehhh.. Come again, where does this act say that I cant buy a pig from down the road and put it on my farm.

And do DOC/AHB have special dispensation to release wild pigs and are they some sort of special pig that doesnt root...eat native plants or make a mess. ???.

Well put Scribe !!!

Some hunters are as annoying as engaging the clutch on a 300. As Josh pointed out, they allow people access to hunt their land, yet some complete assholes rather barrel thru unlocked gates.
There has to be some way of regulating access IMO or its a free for all.
I hate it when some idiot knows there is someone else in an area but still walks into it with intention of hunting it when there is tons of other country to lurk around in.

I don't think it's poaching if the owner (scribe) doesn't mind.

Well he hadn't asked so even so it would be theft.

Might be time for some serious boundary gates JoshC? Big forestry type ones? Stop the ram raids at least

A bank of claymores with laser trip and fixed interlocking arc GPMGS would be more fun.

I would not have believed people could be such selfish assholes unless I seen similar violations myself. I seriously hope they get caught and shamed publicly, I would like too see them confiscate their firearms licence as well, if they have one.

Some jumping jack land mines and a few punji pits where they might take a piss would also be worth investing in. I am assuming the heavy duty barrel on the gimpies?

The tit for tat game ends up costly for both sides in the end.

An eye for an eye soon means both sides are blind.

Na just the standard SF barrel will get thru a box of link

All jokes aside, I have heard of puddles on a vehicle track dug out that look innocent but will trap a vehicle until Mr Plod arrives. Might only work on the coast where there is a chance of them staying full.

a couple of trips ago we went down a track with a large puddle in it... we went around, was dry the whole time we were in there and on the way out the puddle was empty.....could have berried a small jap car complettely.... At the bottom was a smaller hole to an underground stream...I learnt a long while agao to try and avoid them if you can after my father lost a bike to seat hight in one as he didn't want to go to close to the edge.

Tried that in the past...mainly when logging opeerations were going on. Just made things worse. If people want to get in they will. Seen tracks cut round gates, we're talking spade work, chainsaws, the works, we've caught people with generators and grinders/welders cutting their way in, had gates ripped out completely and towed a few hundred metres down the road and thrown in gullies, padlocks tampered with (inside metal boxes) superglued, match sticks rammed into the key slot, you name it we've probably seen it.

Stupid thing is, the worst offenders would've been granted access to hunt, fish, collect firewood etc if they'd only asked!...they just don't like having restrcitions put on them, especially in an area where they have grown up raping and pillaging the land till their hearts content. Now most of them have trespass notices, criminal convictions, etc. Thick as pig sh*t some of them. Haha

Now we just monitor with cameras, happily snapping photos of vehicles snooping around, and have pretty good neighbours who monitor suspicious behaviour and pass any info to the local policeman. He has a nice wee folder of "evidence" sitting and waiting for a rainy day. None of them realise there's always someone watching.

R93, haha, I won't respond to that
