Thread: Tuhoe Banishes Hunters in Urewera

Its not just iwi who poach.
Do we know for certain that DOC consulted with Tuhoe prior to their ceasing to issue permits.
If DOC just made an arbitrary decision to cease issuing permits from a certain date with out consolation I would react in exactly the same way.
The world will not end if there are no permits issued for a few months. In fact the hunting will be the better for it as the game will have settled down a bit.
