Botheration for all roar hunters :(
Self isolation in the hills sounds good
Solo outdoor recreation is permitted......

I wonder if “we are just off to do the shopping” will be a good enough excuse?
I mean, it is for food....
I'm currently building my own place in town and will want to continue driving in from where I live to work on my own at my own place. I wonder if that will exempt me from this carry on.
I wish there was clearer and more specific information.
If not I'm gonna saddle up the pony and hit the hills while it's still nice and warm.
I'm in a similar situation in some ways - I don't share my office with anyone else at the moment, as long as I'm doing office work rather than going out to do field work (surveyor) I'm isolated whether I work from home or the office.
If I work from home I just have to take a work computer and a bunch of files there to do it, without achieving any more safety or isolation. But I doubt they will put any flexibility into the rules, it will be black and white and they won't want to spend any time deciding whats justified and what isn't.
I think if i was going down south hunting is different to going local to get a meat animal
Shame we lost All our Semi's "just" before this ah
So the guys that think they a driving all around the island chasing stags are dreaming
No doubt there will be some who try. But it won't really help the current situation much...
Probably take a couple of idiots being made an example of to get people to understand the rules a bit more clearly. I'd rather be at home with loved ones than sitting in a police jail cell or locked up in an army camp with 50 other numpties...
I popped into a certain well known firearm chain store this afternoon on my way doing some errands. Car park was full, all the tills were manned - they had to prevent people from coming into the shop. Ammunition, shotguns, air rifles, gas powered BB guns, it was all flying out the store. The atmosphere was civil but the sense of fear was palpable.
Locals closed the road up the east coast in the weekend and were looking at closing it at tolaga bay up
I would like to sneak off hunting too, but we can't loose sight of the fact that actually avoiding CV19 is the most important priority we have. What ever we do, think that someone with CV might have touched that, breathed, coughed here. That person there might have it etc. Don't breath it in, don't tough a contaminated surface and then touch the face.
Like others on here i'm sure, I had 9 days booked in sth westland for the roar, work leave etc, out the window now, thats for sure! I see Helisika have shut down for the next 4 weeks, so totally missing their busiest time of the year - good on them for being responsible, doing the right thing. I, like others am keen to do a solo hunt in the North Island somewhere, fly camping of course, but this will be totally dependent on advice of MoH and ability to move between regions. As keen as I am, I don't want to be taking risks or be putting my own temporary 'wants' against the needs of the nation at this time. I just hope we can get clear of this situation ASAP and back into it! All the best team, stay safe and be positive!!!
Missing the roar or even open day when duck season starts is now low priority. Just wait until you have to wait in line all day to do shopping as stores will restrict entry to 10 inside at a time will still be a low priority when the virus spreads and the deaths begin. So much for putting those down who prepared for the lockdown a week or two ago.
Wapati blocks are closing, nephews are in Lake Katherine at moment but Southern lakes wants to get them out on Wednesday otherwise they risk being in isolation in the South Island for at least a month.
Hmmm I can see the mountains from my front deck and if I let off a round from my rifle it would probably reach so I'm assuming that is local enough. Only problem I have is I would still need to drive past both the local cops houses as one is a near neighbour and the other is only 2km down the road.
Ministry of Health says ''We encourage everyone to get outside for exercise and fresh air. That's (hunting) fine to do as long as you feel well and maintain your physical distance from others.''
Time to stock up!!

So having a Bach that needs looking after in another district? How the shit does that work? I’m self isolating with my wife and no one else. Can I get a cindy ticket?
Better view then they have living in those big cities :thumbsup:
WOW shit just got real..man im pleased I got out on Saturday arvo saw a few deer refrained my self as its that time of year however when I was 300m from the truck a spiker bolted infront of me followed by a yearling hind....pop , got the preams for the freezer so its looking good , currently its feeling like its going to snow out ,cold , heavy rain & hail , some bloody interesting cov19 conversations to be had at work being a primary industry , pretty scary as they are not looking to miss a beat mean while were supposed to isolate ...but its ok to go to work with 500 others ...go figure.
Right you guys want some good news!
Next roar all those heads that you missed this roar will be even better more mature!
:thumbsup: good luck with your government trying to make sense of it.......
And in more good news at lest there will be no more photo shoots of old long face hugging people:thumbsup: she might be able to reuse that head scarf as a mask:XD:;)
I can just see it now, in the near future there has been a huge increase of deer numbers we now must dumb more 1080 then ever before. In saying that money might be a issue
Get out there boys if ya don’t get stopped on the way you’ll be sweet
