Aren't the Molesworth Roar blocks drawn by ballot ? Not part of first in system...??

Supposedly but living here have discovered those who can get their application in within a couple of minutes of it opening are usually successful. I didn't and didn't get a block, but know someone who took a day off got in within 2 minutes and got a block, both @Shearer and myself missed out.

Got in early last year and got one though, so it does pay to be on the ball quickly.

No first in first served. I have deleted the email now but seem to remember all blocks were taken in the first few minutes after the application form going live !!

Exactly. They opened at 9:30 and I missed out having mine in at 9:37. A mate got his in at 9:32 and got one. I couldn't fill out the form any faster

Think you'll find most, if not all of the blocks get a fair old goin over before the roar. All you need is a doc permit.
I know of 2 13 pointers that came out of one of the roar blocks on the weekend.

There are only 3 blocks that are open all year round. The others are open at different times of the year depending on stock movements within the station. As far as I am aware all of the blocks need to be booked through the Molesworth booking system and cannot be hunted on a standard DoC permit.
It's a bit of a process working out what block is available when and booking it.
