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?

The correct pronunciation is Upper Hood
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.
Well one could also say that when you liken someone's actions to Germany during WW2 then you've also lost the debate. Unless they really are like them. Over use cheapen's what happened and lowers credibility.
You need to remember that these are politicians. They are not the country's finest people and have signed up to push an agenda with a sweet publicly funded life style to boot
Whilst I don't like the more gender specific ridicule such as how she looks, it is something that all politicians inevitably attract. People get sick of them and frustrated with their decisions.
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.
I have just received an email from NZ First. The usual drivel and it includes
Should hunting we allowed once we’re under level 3?YES or NO? Let us know: https://www.nzfirst.org.nz/hunting_level_3_survey
A bit late for trying to gain some credence and support for that as David and Act are streets ahead on that point. Looks like they, just like the Show Pony's stable boy are copying Act's actions. They need to spend more time on trying to explain Winston's million dollar court costs for his failed court case as there are a lot of voters very angry about that and I suspect even his oldie brigade will want his head on a pole come the election.
It’s just a survey to harvest your email address so they can spam you later.
I have received their email,so they already have mine.
Hopefully their time has run out and it was a death rattle.

@Kiwi Sapper Yup it did; but they ignored it. I did mention the legalities etc rather forcibly and have had nothing since....
Just spotted this in the Nzherald
She said ( PM )work the Auckland City Rail link will continue in level 3 - more than 200 workers will get back to work.
That will ramp up to 400 over the coming weeks.
She said getting transport infrastructure projects back on track is a focus for the Government.
State Highway maintenance will also resume under level 3, she said.
There will be an announcement around hunting rules under level 3 tomorrow.
The Health Minister David Clark and Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters will be returning to Wellington under level 3.
Both have not been in the capital over the level 4 period.[/I]
Pest control this weekend. Have been told by the farm owner to make sure all of my freezers are full and to do some thinning of numbers. Got the son coming this arvo on humanitarian reasons for me, so excited.
That is your opinion.......Others have differing opinions and as we respect yours, you must respect theirs.
Here are just two differing opinions from the same sector
"Eastern Bay of plenty iwi Tūhoe has banned hunting in Te Urewera regardless of what the government decides, saying it is concerned an influx of hunters could see accidents or transmission of the virus into the community.
About 2000 hunters descend on the mountain park at this time of year during the roar season.
But Iwi Chairs Pandemic Response spokesperson Mike Smith said whānau who relied on hunting to put food on the table should be given some leniency."
Now i give you my opinion. If access is made available to those wanting food but not to those "wanting blow off a bit of ammunition and kill a few things" I am certain that every man and his dog would claim they were hunting for food...........which is probably true now and therefor the status quo should remain. The fickle media should ignore the blowhards and not give their blustering any publicity.
Absolutely and I'm not asking his opinion be removed etc. Just expressing mine that I think someone who holds that opinion is ignorant, arrogant or just a dick. That's the good thing about forums hey - diversity of opinion and free debate :)
And yeah I'm inclined to agree with your view that any rules/restrictions imposed are a recipe for interpretation, confusion and a real pain in the ass for any poor bugger who has to try and enforce them.
What I've learnt from this thread is that China has manufactured COVID 19 and intentionally spread it to to New Zealand to target Kiwi hunters and stop them from hunting.
Informative.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/hea...hunting-lifted
A ban on hunting under Covid-19 alert level 3 has been lifted.
Hunters will be able to hunt on private land with special restrictions when New Zealand moves to Covid-19 Alert Level 3, but not on public conservation land.
The ban was described as an "error" by the finance minister, as the Government came under pressure to allow the activity.
Hunting had been deemed risky and was banned under the lockdown, and according to Government advice issued last week, the outdoor activity would remain banned.
Not that I really give a rats arse about your opinion. Having my son with me to look after me as I do it, I’m terminally ill and need supervision from a safety perspective. Only time he can come to visit. As well as do some work here and give my wife a rest. Good reason for you PC Plod. Numbers have built up and stock management is being revised. I could carry on and lecture you about emergency management, but then nah.
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.

I will put my hand up on this one and say I am sorry mate. I had not made the connection or joined the dots. Mght have to read some more posts back further. Was merely reacting to so much of what I hear regarding whinging and moaning from people who don't actually need to be pushing boundaries. I sincerely wish you and your family all the best. Cheers
