Thread: Farmer lying about paper road?

We have had poachers up there dumb enough to posts photos of themselves on our placeon facebook, 4wd'ers ripping through stock and leaving gates open letting stock loose. It is a real pain in the arse. It may be legal access on paper, but it is not always practical access.

Agree 100%. Find somewhere else to hunt. It’s not like there will be a shortage of game animals in Canterbury at present. I’ve had similar issues with whitebaiters during lambing. Just thinking they can claim queens chain and wander where they like. They came off second best.
Some of the critters I have bumped into in the hills - it’s little wonder land owners do t want them on their property near their stock.

Not ideal granted. Some old fashioned values sometimes go a long way. Like fronting up dressed appropriately and asking for permission using manners. Sadly common sense is not so common anymore.
