Thread: No hunting under level 3

Am I right with the status?

Robertson's rethink idea/GAC/NZDA/Seymour's suggestions that the hunting ban should be re-thought/lifted at level 3? -3 days ago now -no word yet

Federated farmers (at least in Otago) have suggested hunting should be discouraged on private land at level 3 https://www.odt.co.nz/news/national/...tarter-hunters
Is this a nation wide thing with fed farmers? I just checked website i couldn't see anything obvious does anyone know?

Duck opener is definitely cancelled

Is doc allowing hunting to resume? (permits can be issued?) has their been any official word from them? (I just checked website and no mention of what the go is at level 3 only level 4) Tuhoe has however asked for no hunting in Te Urewera

Is this as much as anyone knows?

The latest I could find is that they are making a decision on hunting at L3 and it will be done shortly, no solid timeframe but prob by the end of the week? Anyone with better info?

Planning for future alert levels
While we await future Government directions on future COVID-19 Alert levels, DOC is doing a lot of preparation and planning behind the scenes.

DOC's priority is to support New Zealand in stopping the spread of COVID-19 and saving lives. We must stay home to break the chain of community transmission of this deadly virus.

We are working through what the implications of potentially moving to an Alert Level 3 environment will be on both DOC’s work and the use of our facilities on public conservation land.

The government is still making a decision on hunting and other recreation at Alert Level 3.

Once we have further information we will share it with you.

In the meantime, New Zealand is on COVID-19 Alert Level 4 state of emergency and is in lockdown.

Your fake news.

STILL no approval to sight in at your local range.

COLFO warns and is pursuing yet another oversight or mistake .

"There is still one gaping hole though – and that is the status of ranges. I know that many hunters will need to head down to a range to sight in their firearms before they can safely head out. Their status is still unclear, so we’ll keep plugging away at that and keep you updated.

What’s fake about it?

And seeing in the herald, practicing clay pigeons on your property, gets you a full blown police call out! Might be a good idea to ring the local policeman and let him know if your planing on getting practice in.

At least the cops saw sense and took no action with the shooters.!

I see sports like tennis and golf are suppose to get info about how they can participate under Level 3 on Friday, hopefully they will have the hunting guidelines then as well.

Tennis has to be the ultimate social distancing game but it would be bloody boring sanitising the ball and you hands between each change of service.

Sanitize the ball with Meths light it then play on.....I could almost watch that.

I can think of several people who are deserving of the above mentioned sanitisation treatment.... and a lot of people would no doubt stump up "pay for view".

Yup it happened to me and it took about 4 or 5 emails before they unsubscribed me. And' I had to be pretty "direct" in the last email....
