Thread: FWF Ban for Non Attendance

To be fair, if they didn't ban him, and he won a ballot the next year people would find out and start saying its rigged etc as they dont follow the rules they make.

Seems pretty harsh for a 4 year ban, then 10 for no doubt being a smart ass.

My money is he had dark river or some other borderline average block, I bet if he had the edith they would have gone.

I got banned for 2 years for not doing my kea form. To be fair I flew out to Argentina the night I got out and my form got wet and couldn't be read. By the time I remembered to hand it in I had forgotten what I had seen anyway sondidnt see the point in making it up.

I actually think that makes sense that if they let people get away with breaking the rules all of a sudden guys are going to push the limits of things. He was gonna heli so it wasnt any of the cores. And I agree. I feel its slightly regret and not wanting to spend money on an average block in average weather. That's why I only ever apply for blocks I'd be stoked to hunt as its expensive no matter how you look at it as its 12 days leave and travel etc to do it plus all the niggly bits.

Unfortunate about the kea form ban but it is in the rules. Did you by any chance debate your ban? I think the 4 years was harsh enough unless the guys was being a real prick.

Nothing to debate about, I broke a rule so just accepted it even though I did think it was slightly harsh considering it's one little bit of paper that I would have just made up what I wrote down. I had done nearly 40 days hunting in the blocks over the previous 5 ballots and only pulled the trigger once, was due a break anyway.
