who on earth in the hunting fraternity has ever trusted this bunch of eco-warriors ever?
Why the hell do you feel betrayed?
They were never ever ever going to do what was in our interests, only theirs.
They have in in the "forest and bird" mandate to eradicate all non indigenous species right down to trout.
DOC are filled with these people and their minister Sage is an ex senior card carrying member (number 2 at one stage?) of the Twig and Twitter brigade.
Expect nothing less

Aren't they an endangered species in their native country?
I can't believe a supposedly green animal loving govt and doc are happily pushing a species ever closer to possible extinction.
Don't know how they sleep at night.

Well winding the clock back a number of years ago, hunters used to have consultation and a reasonable working relationship with Doc.

We had the Tahr liaison group, which after good communications with the regional Doc guys, would undertake culls in areas that were recognised to have too many tahr.

The Doc website used to put up 'hotspot' areas for rec hunters to target problem areas.

We used to be able to call up the regional office of Doc to find out suggested areas to go hunt.

It didnt used to be like it is now. The age of the extremist greenies taking over with their unreasonable uncompromising attitude has taken over Doc and certainly not for the better.
