Spotlighters do the rolling country up and around the lakes (Killarney) by vehicle and the tops and clearings off Tuahu and the private land above the pines by foot...when they were felling the pines security patrolled the area, but since they have gone it has been open slather...locked gate don't stop them, they either have keys or just ramp their quads over the gates...As for DoC, yes a lot of the land is theirs but I have never heard of them policing it. Of course the spotlighters would not know of DoC's policy on "no spotlighting" as they probably have never seen a permit.
