Thread: Hunting Over Hot Ground - Other Huntrsr Spoiling Your Hunt #$@#

Had a similar thing happen with Te Tapui (balloted block). We got there about 6am (break of light) only to find a possum trapper was already in there. Turns out he has a permit, but we never knew he'd be in there. Neither did any other hunter who had a ballot for the block. It's only open for two months, so I'm surprised DOC never told the hunters, or more so told the trapper to NOT be in there at break of dawn. Totally ruined our trip. It's not like he was being quiet either, we'd heard him the previous day and were wondering what the noise was in a supposedly closed block.
