And then DOC kindly changed the system so the guide held the concession rather than the chopper outfit, and that very same chopper was straight back into it just a few weeks later..
There was another one earlier this year, with a different heli crew dropping their hunters in on a mob of bulls within 800m of an occupied hut, a mob that already had foot hunters within about 200m of them.. All caught on video, chopper crew claimed they didn't see them/hadn't looked. And despite the rules stating no hunting within 1km of a recreational facility, DOC still decided there was no breach and promptly pushed it into the 'ignore' basket.
