Thread: Molesworth roar

Goodness. We applied for 4 blocks but haven't heard. Not holding much hope.

No luck here either. Shit, I don't know if I could have been any quicker .....

Kia ora,

Thank you for your Molesworth ROAR hunting application. We were inundated with emails and have been processing and assigning blocks on a “first come, first served” basis. Even though your application was received within the first ten minutes, unfortunately the blocks and time periods you selected were allocated before your place in the queue.

This year the first five blocks allocated in minutes were Yarra, Five Mile, Dillon, Half Moon and Chimney. The majority of blocks were allocated withīn the first 10 minutes of the application page going live.

All current applications have been processed resulting in all the blocks issued aside from two remaining in the Lizard for the 3rd and 5th period – email me if these are options you are interested in (again first in-first served).

We are aware our booking system is not infalable but we do our best to ensure it is as fair as possible. We will also be doing some monitoring this season in the Molesworth to ensure hunting parties are abiding by the rules of their permits.

Kind regards

What might be the issues/concerns DoC have to provide cause for them to monitor hunters during the ballot period ... surely there are better things a resource poor organisation could be doing with its time ( like balloting the blocks) perhaps ?
