Thread: Stock on doc land...

If they have no tags or markings then they are not owned by anyone other than the crown, therefore it is my interpretation that they are fair game. If I see them and cannot see any markings and judge they are of an age that they have had sufficient time to be brought in by a farmer but haven't (say 2 yrs or more) Then bang

So if I see your dog lost in the Ruahines with no tag and I judge you've had sufficient time to find it your happy for me to fold it?

Should add that most cattle (beef cattle) just have a little NAIT tag now that's been designed to be hard enough to see in hairy ears at the best times so I'm buggered if I no how you can tell in the hills.

My dog don't have its collar and tag on as it's noisy, but it does have a flea collar on and may have an electronic collar too, so won't be mine. But if i saw a dog would probably whistle then make my mind up, a cattle beast nait can be seen on inside and out, again with properly identified animals if no tag seen fair game. Guess it's anyone's call really. I have hunted an area where there are wild sheep, should I not shoot or are we only talking cattle here. Again no tag is fair game in my book based on identifying it properly as described. Now if you gunna eat the dog and can't see any identifying features then go for it, but they not my favourite snack

As i stated in post above, what you can hunt and not hunt is defined in your permit. In open hunting areas(most common permit) you only allowed to hunt wild game as stated....tahr, cham, pigs, deer, goats, wallabys. Thats it, no cattle, sheep. If you been shooting those you breaking your permit and hunting against the law.... if you get a permit that states that you can hunt wild cattle, sheep it be for a certain area that has a wild pop.(few and far between) still, no shooting cattle or sheep that have eartags and are not wild. End of story
