    Hunters(dickheads) charged with unlawful hunting during lockdown.

    See a couple of dickheads in our region caught unlawful hunting in a forest block during the lockdown.
    Using illegal tracking gear as well. Good they both got arrested and appeared in court.
    One thing going hunting when you shouldnt be but using the lockdown to do some poaching as well these guys need the book thrown at them

    IIRC some gear is illegal in NZ as it uses frequencies already being used (might be by emergency services or aviation?)

    I wasn’t aware of that so I’ve just learned something.
    So are there frequencies you can use and these guys where using the wrong equipment ?
    It doesn’t really matter anyway, they are idiots and deserve what they get .

    anthing between 150and 155Mhz is part of the NZ Land Mobile Spectrum and used operators who "lease space", this can be anyone including Emergency services.
    Collars transmitting every few seconds effectively hog the channel preventing other legitiment user from using it which can cause problems for things/situations requiring good comes

    Not a hunter mate. A dickhead masquerading as a hunter.

    With a long history of offending i might add.

    He has caused nothing but trouble on many levels around this district for a long time.

    A shame he is portrayed as a 'hunter' !!!

    Where in any of that does it suggest he is or was a hunter or was hunting illegally ? Or have I missed something ?
