There is but it will be at a cost to us in our freedom and with money, a nationwide public land ballot system for the roar.

Maybe to go a little safer one hunter per block so some dumb ass doesn’t shoot his mates?

I’m not keen on this because where will it stop? and it’s the golden month I normally have 3 to 5 weeks off for the roar every year, also I’ve got a better chance of getting shot than most spending that much time in DOC land hunting 90% inside the bush and 10% in the tops.

Is common sense to IDENTIFY YOUR TARGET too much to ask for hunting this time of the year or any time of the year?

That’s my rant over and out.
