Who makes these decisions? Who can we get hold of in govt about this?
Guess if you dont eat meat from supermarket you will become a vego

This is BS,hunting poses no extra risk of spending the virus and far less risk of putting extra load emergency/health system than the construction industry re starting.
look at the data for construction injuries vs hunting.
The Prime minister stated you can go swimming , surfing, fishing from the shore... can anyone clarify why these activities are Ok at Level 3 but not hunting. There are some ACC figures on another thread which clarify which activities result in the highest % of claims. I also Mountain bike a bit and we know what happens, on a daily basis with that rather fun recreational activity...
Yea me to. Just going for an easy day-tramp but carrying my rifle instead of a walking pole. And all within 30 mins from home.
Thats gotta be ok, right??
It’s BS.
I took it as no hunting be interesting to see if doc reissue hunting permits I very much doubt it
I havent seen anything saying no hunting today
some one needs to lobby Winston about this,there are a power of hunters out here and we have some political grunt, common sense needs to be listened to here not some bozo academic in the govt that has no idea.
@Woody under the recreation FAQ's on this page https://covid19.govt.nz/alert-system...-3/#recreation
I saw on a FAQ sheet. Allowed to go mountain biking but not hunting. Imagine the ACC payouts are alot more for the biking...
Looks like I will become a career criminal soon.
Been a good wee boy for 75 years so I suppose a change of attitude is inevitable. Hope Jackboot JA and plod enjoy trying to hammer me.
I wonder what Clarke did to piss off his missus so badly...
Guess you will end up a vegan
Hmm. Lets think about this. The government says the reason we can't go hunting is because we'll tie up emergency services right? How many emergency services are actually in use for the virus right now? Only going to be decreasing if we are going to level 3. Or is it because we would need physical contact with rescue services? We will need contact with emergency services if we're injured surfing, tramping or mountain biking so what's the real reason? Doesn't stack up. Then you've got the likes of the GAC releasing a statement saying to "do the right thing" to stop the spread...That's a different reason again!
Probably going to be a spike in sales for take down rifles....
Nothing like a bit delayed gratification...
If you can go tramping for a day what is the difference of hunting locally if you're allowed out to do that?
It is clear they are still angling firearms are dangerous and some scroggin eater won't have a scary gun on them if they need rescuing.
They hate hunters and hunting that is perfectly clear

My opinion is they have to have a NATIONAL policy to keep it simple. Someone living in a city who only hunts occasionally and has to drive 1 or 2 hours to even get to the hills is the kind of hunter the government are probably thinking about. It would get too complicated if they said some people can hunt , some people cant hunt. It sucks for those of us with the hills on our doorstep, one size doesn't fit all but it would be a clusterfuck to have different rules for different people. For example they have said day walks on easy trails and the internet has gone nuts saying everyones allowed to go tramping! A day walk and an easy trail means different things to someone who does an occasional walk on a well manicured track to someone who can bash 25km in the scrub for a day in the bush. It would have been clearer to say no hiking.
Exactly. I dont care what anyone says. The government is targeting anyone that uses firearms for recreational activities. Every activity allowed in any capacity under level 3 is statistically proven as more dangerous. It is discrimination in its purest form.
They can fuck with us by way of our licence and threat of losing it. You cant lose a fucking tramping, surfing or mountain bike licence.
This government and their fucking pathetic Simps have to go.
For all you sheltered, pathetic, pansie suck ups, who think communism is a myth in this country, wake the fuck up, its staring you straight in the face.

Won't be hunting here I'm guessing as they won't open the gate to allow anyone over the back. It's one hell of a walk without a vehicle
I can climb thru my back fence and hunt, but why the FUC- should I have to sneak around like a criminal they are turning us into. Most other outdoor activities have been given the green light if personal distance can be kept. Why not us, because we are a thorn in their and UN side.
No hunting..............That's fine I'm going pest controlling, can't allow these reds to be running rampant all throughout the Bush.
We will beat this '' : 8,573 died in the influenza epidemic and just after WW1 where Over 16,500 killed and 41,000 wounded .New Zealand only had a total population of 1,149,225 .. How hard did they have it to fight back from that ,, but they did for us ,, so come on give something back to our forefathers . And some people on here crying like wee babies because they might miss out on one roar , come on the deer will still be there .. You will miss out on a dam sight more if you catch this shit .
agreed,this is not about "not spreading the virus or taking up vital health/rescue services" anymore it is clearly about gun owners!I just took a quick look at some recreational injury figures for 2019 -tramping 2468,mountain biking,2618,surfing 2238,horse riding 3810,hunting 392.
I go duck shooting....bought a duck shooting licence....not a duck hunting licence......19;00 every night from here on in we ALL need a minute of loud duck caller blowing practice....WHOS IN?????
Personally I am not worried about the hunting. My freezer is full and I am only interested in trophy stags. I can look for them anytime.
I am just really angry at the hypocrisy. Really angry. I had a gut feeling this would happen way back before level 4. I just wish someone would put it too them as to why. I would have a bit more respect if they just came out and said coz we hate guns and the people that enjoy them. Not cower behind a pandemic and hide their obvious agenda.
