Thanks I found that one just wondering if there is a link to the 3news etc
It was great turn out from a large group of hunters passionate about our Tahr and hunting interests.
A few hundred vehicles and over a thousand people. Fantastic turn out and hopefully noticed by the nation.
A cold hoar frost around the Mackenzie basin gave way to a beautiful sight of blue skies and sunshine to show off mt Cook national park and all its glory.
Speeches from the members of the Tahr foundation, including Willie Duley and Snow Hewitson, were listened to by a concerned audience and appreciation displayed for what was being spoken.
Full credit to the organisation of this event and the hard work from the Tahr foundation.
Statement by reporter on the tv3 report.
...DOC say it is crucial the work is done now before a new generation of Tahr are born....
But they are shooting Bulls in the NPs? So the females that are currently pregnant carrying the next generation? Maybe I no understand
Sounds as if the message got out there, well done to all those who attended. Lets hope some good and rational thinking comes from it, but knowing DOC etc that's not in their way of doing things.
Can't help but wonder if we aren't be sold a big dummy right now?
We are focused on the recently announced aspiration to target all Tahr all in Nat Parks, and will probably be told that DoC will continue to target only nanny's in other areas. So while there may be plenty of bulls to hunt outside Nat Parks for a while, if they continue to nail the breeding stock there may be a prospect we face a population collapse a few years down the track? We know from past experience that the helicopters actually can snot the Tahr population ( from a hunting perspective) if they try hard enough............... is that perhaps the real issue?
DoC continue to claim "there will still be 000's of Tahr for hunters..."
And read some of the ignorant comments, just wow, what sort of life it must be to live absolutely hating a group of people that much.
It is simple, the govt doesnt care, and people dont care, they hate hunters.
They are happy to wipe out a whole population of animals just because they hate hunters.

It was a great day to be a part of and I'm extremely proud of everyone who attended. Everyone behaved fantastically and no one can claim that it was just a bunch of hillbillies crying over wooly goats.
Thanks to those who made the effort to turn up and "represent" the rest of us (who couldn't).
A massive thanks to those who attended from those of us that couldn’t. Very much appreciated
Great turnout by all, tidy, respectable, professional. Definitely bucked the redneck/hillbilly image that seems to be portrayed. Good to catch up with a few familiar faces too. Pleased we made the drive up.
Damn that looks cold!!!! .... well done all who attended and thanks from a slightly warmer north
I just watched parliament oral question. Quedtions put by Nat Jaqui to Green Eugenie. Sage was very cunning in her responses to quedtions which related a liitle more to commercial tahr guiding industries than to recreational hunters. Amongst Sage's responses she was adamant that DOC had consulted extensively with hunting groups over the past 2 1/2 years. Sage also claimed no extermination objective and that there would be thousands of tahr left over thousands and thousands of hectares. Unfortunately she was able to completely avoid specifics pertaining to comparing populations to remain in national psrks compared to other areas. Sage claimed records showed only 65 tahr had been shot over past year in national parks by hunters snd also clsimed the covid shutdown was the reason for culling now due to lack of overseas clients. She seemed yo me to not want to accept that recreational domestic hunters contributed much to the regional economies. Very "fly" IMO. She also slipped in a rant about DOC and heli operators receiving death threats. Etc etc.
Personally I believe hunting organisations legal teams need to challenge DOC and Minister Sage via the State Services Commissionet over malfaecance relating to the Public Service Codes of Conduct and The Parliamentary Manual and Oaths of Alliegance sworn by MP's.
After such a respectful, peaceful protest in which the car jam was it would be disgraceful if there were “death threats” made to doc and the operators involved. If it’s true they should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. And if they are FAL holders they should loose it. We need as many people on our side as possible but I would rather not have these people on my side.
Frustration and deep anger surfacing. It's grim and Sage took the opportunity to blurt this out as a TOTALLY unrelated response to a quite different question put by National. Sage wad pulled up by a point of order but had already done her damage under parliamentary privilidge
