Thread: Hawkes Bay poacher caught on camera

So basically if someone is caught poaching they just get a Tresspass notice and basically can wrap up as many of those as they want? if they are caught with a farmers trophy stag they can be charged and get reparations? probly at $5 a week for the next so many years, no big deterrent then aye.
this is more a question than a statement.......

The Bayview Cop addressed a Deerstalkers meeting I was at last year to talk about the poaching that was going on in the same area this Game Camera photo was taken.

His view was he wouldn't bugger around too much with Trespass Notices........ He was after your Firearms Licence.

To start with.

The old school rules used to be get caught once get a bluey "trespass notice " not really a big deal as far as a learning curve goes but get caught a second time while the trespass notice is still current and they could prosecute ...but these days get caught once you could loose more than your gun licence ...and you probably wont get it back...farmers have basically had a gutsful of rude arrogant tossers wandering around leaving gates open and dogs worrying there stock with a I don't give a F#@k attitude not to mention theft that's rite up there and the cops like to put the 2 in the same basket sadly its ruined it for the good guys I cant believe the latest trend...hunting rights !!! wtf...anyone else heard that phrase ? it reminds me of the UK .

He came to ours too and in all honesty I found he came across like a real asshole. Almost like he had a personal interest.

Yep that's how he came across to me too Kiwijames.

Not sure on how successful he's been to date.
