30 years ago the public land here in south canterbury ran a 2 week permit system and only 4??? permits at a time for the block...you could book a month in advance...now some folks booked permits and didnt hunt at all..they effectively locked up the block and went in later ,with hope animals had a spell and got quieter....it was a shitty system as was often hard to get block to hunt in time I had off to use it.
it was scrapped about same time as paper permits....now its open slather and 4 mth long permits....
guys buy duck shooting licence and tag area and buy licence for other family members and tag 90 yards away in each direction to give them a bigger buffer area....
FWF has to be seen to do something to stop this happening....as to how much they need to do...its never going to please everyone.
