It would give people an idea of the numbers of people using the area. Amount of risk involved.
I can see there would be issues, like people not keen to give up spots, or changing the intentions due to factors like wind direction weather and such like. Poachers probably not keen.

I think you would be pissing into the wind expecting a hunter to stick to a set area, at this time of the year when the " out there doing it" brigade arrive many have no respect or don't give a toss if someone is already parked or camped at a track end, they just carry on with their intensions without any thought or consideration to other hunters.

Yup, like with all similar legislation/rules/ideas it would only stop the responsable ones, as they are the only ones that follow it/them.

@Dundee, do you know where we can find the photo they refer to?

Yea I recon you be right. I was thinking about it today. How many times have you been up the bush with intentions of doing this that dropping into the right side and arrived seen some better sign and better conditions to drop off the left side because it was a better hunting option.
I guess if you knew there where say three parties in the area you would be having second thoughts. Not everyone would be on the web site I guess. I liked the idea of hanging a tab at entrances to inform others. But they may not be full proof as there could be a number of entry points, or methods to arrive at the site.
There was a few good ideas I thought on the various threads, but no silver bullet. even if we implemented all the ideas there is all ways human error.
