You raise all of these questions, and most of them are based around their competitions, their standards and their rules.
You need to support them?

You may be right mate but I don't see how or why it would be of benifit to me. They do not own the record books or the heads in them?
I have been hunting for 35 years and got along fine without them.
Most of that hunting for a wage.
I do find some of their rules/ethics discriminating and hypocritical.

The Fallow we got will not go in any book or on any records as far as I know.
It was taken to the nationals by my mate (nzda member) who helped me secure it, to be measured only. I am not into competitions where hunting is concerned. Besides it is only a matter of time when there will be a 300 class fallow taken in southland and I bet it will be close to where we got Stonker.

It is impossible and just a dream, but I suppose my point is, I would only like to see trophies recorded from legit herds shot by real honest hunters on public land. We had that for a time.
Some Nz recorded trophies are starting to look like SCI stuff, including mine.
