Thread: Idiot D.O.C and clueless NZDA

What's your problem? Lambing has been going on for over a month now in various parts of the country. As long as hunters stay away from lambing flocks thre shouldn't be any problem. Best goat shooting on private land is usually finge country so again, easy enough to stay away from ewe flocks. If a farmer isn't happy about hunting taking place they'll simply tell you so and deny access onto their land, theres plenty of public land available to hunt in the area of the competition. Good on DOC and NZDA for promoting hunting.
And in case you're wondering, I come from a farming background/perspective.
As it happens this is often one of the busiest times of the year for me culling pigs which tend to shoiw up at lambing for an oppurtunistic feed, they can be a f*cking pain in the arse at this time taking newborn lambs and cast ewes. Goats are just a bonus if we see them. Farmers are generally appreciative of the added set of responsible hunter eyes looking over remote ewe mobs.
Just my take on it.
