Yes for sure and I understand that and hence why this is all discussion of ideas and potential solutions to the problems that arise.

Hunters however are often very hard to get that point across to. I'd never be mad at doc for not doing something they can't do legally even if I'd like to see it happen. But for example a heap of hunters go on and bag the GAC and call them shit as they aren't publicly anti 1080 and they didn't condemn Eugenie Sage for the Tahr Cull. When you tell them that they legally can't make partisan comments and that while they are the only legal representation we have they are limited in some ways. That's why we need free organisations such as the NZDA and Tahr Foundation to make statements and actions like that and the GAC to actually act as a part of Government to enact the things we want as hunters.
