Thread: An odd response..

Is it just me or is that a bit odd for DOC to be telling me?
I had to ask twice via email because he never answered my question, just kept talking about paying for hunting.

protecting his personal meat supply?......which would be silly cos there's plenty out there for everyone....I do know of one Waikato ranger that was a meat hunter in a past life
