Total lock down in 48hours

I think common sense is somewhat lacking in this thread...

If the conversation is around spreading a highly contagious sickness I think everyone would/should agree leaving your house and going for a walk or jog around the block in a built up area (as that is where most people in NZ live) is far more likely to spread the illness person to person.

I can’t see how it’s up for discussion as it’s a basic isolation principle??

Option 1. Walk in a highly populated area.

Option 2. Walk where there is no one.

I’ll go with option 2 and further to that firearms and hunting are not relevant to the conversation.

Stay safe fellas.

You guys are worried about going for a hunt.
I am a recovering cancer patient with a partially renovated house that needs at the least worked on to get to a weather tight state.
It looks like my builders will be able to carry on working to do this.
Hopefully able to get double glazed windows fitted it will then be a bit warmer.
At the moment very breezy with the inside temp racing to match the outside.
Your "worries" and "concerns" are not terribly great.
Stay home.

Great post Phil_H.

Have just been notified that the forestry is closed to all access. Also understand that DOC has cancelled all hunting permits. I would say if you are found on DOC land hunting in the current political climate you can say good by to your firearm license and any chance of getting it back ( Not fit and proper). Remember there is a Roar coming in about 12 months and there should be more deer around.

Had something pop up on facebook it said:

Our grandparents were called up to fight 2 world wars. We have been called up to wash our hands and sit on the couch, DON`t FUCK THIS UP.

In my mind that pretty much says it.

Just been talking to a mate that has popular DOC access through his farm ,cops been up and told him any cars come past after 12 ring the police!! FAL gone!! Please just stay at home!!

but in this instance, they do say so, and as much as I hate this bunch of clowns in charge at the moment. we must do so. They arn't saying this due to megalomania, they are saying this to save lives at the expense of the economy. if you had to trust them just once, this is the time to do it.

I hear you @Phil_H and I plan to stay home.....Although the wife would rather I went hunting for a couple of weeks! I work in an essential industry, and there are about 700+ people at work. And there is NO WAY to avoid contact with them. So the wife's view, and the reason that she is worried is that I'm going to work each day mixing with hundreds of people and potentially bringing back the virus into our household. Where if I was in the bush by myself there would be no risk of contracting it...... How do you debate that one???? As there is some logic in it.

There isnt any logic to it but thats the way it is I guess. My wife is currently classed as essential and works inside a prison. She risks bringing it home and is an anstham sufferer too. The worlds gone mad but we all have to do what we must in this case.

And tomorrow hopefully I'll be off chasing Stags, if I get sick ill go home, I'll go by myself. I won't see anyone esle, I won't hear anybody esle, I will be the most furtherest thing from any virus you could be, listening to red Stags up high going off there rockers.

I won't be hurting anyone, affecting anyone. I've been guiding for 10 years this will be my first year off I can go for myself,
I'm sorry lads I don't agree with most of you here, I am all for keeping everybody safe but me walking in for a hunt and camping out for a week or 2 in a tent in bumfuck Egypt far from anybody is far more productive, But you enjoy your time at home.

I've lived with a Auto immune disease for most of my adult life, almost died Several times from it, been in and out of hospitals for years, had more cancer drugs and catabolic steroids than most people so I am going to enjoy the time I am well, if some virus wants to kill me good luck, I can't even kill me (immune system)

Trained in SAR and got all satellite coms and Trackers.

+1 @Phil_H great post. I’m sure every one of us would love to continue our roar plans and head for the hills, the stags will still be there once this is over, stay at home so we can all get back out there sooner

Hey Goosebay hunter what setup are you using on your solo mission, looks like big long range stuff to me.
