Thread: Newbie hunter funding ex GOVT.

Hats off to NZDA and the Game Council.
This is an initiative for our times and in a quite different context to anything in the past.

Supported by Gov
Putting our sport in front of the public
Introducing new hunters
Hunters as conservationists
Attracting metros to clean/green product and our way of life
Legitimising gun ownership
Will highlight new license application problems
Might open up more DOC access

Its easy not to be cynical. You just need to step back.

I guess that's a rhetoric question?? (I had edited my post at the same time as you responded)

No, nothing wrong with a healthy cynicism. But Im suggesting that its also ok to step back and see the good in something. I see a lot of good in this and I also know that the people who initiated/negotiated this are smart.

I don't think they're dumb. But I know 'a leopard never changes it's spots', just it's technique

It's all good to criticise the things that govt do that you don't like or agree with (I do it all the time) but why be critical when they actually do something worthwhile?? Makes it look like people are just impossible to please whiners.
