    Thanks for putting that up GSP Follower. I want to work towards increasing habitat and also try to improve the upland hunting.

    not a problem
    me thinks there could be some under utilised quail hunting up the ashburton gorge way.
    i put it to big green once maybe some partnership possibilities with some of the irrigation pond owners that dont get utilised??

    I believe that HB hadn't had enough people put there names forward to have an election for the last 3 or 4 elections, so the thinking was to reduce the number ( only has to be a maximum of 12 ) to 8 so an election was more likely. Of course murhpy's law means 19 people put there names in including the ex manager which could be interesting

    so are 8 positions on the councill in total??reduced from 12.
    mmm a cynical and suspicious persons conspiracy,ometer would be working overtime about now

    some interesting candidates to who''want to a more co,operative way to dealng with the bays irrigation projects'' bollocks
    like saying preserve owners now releasing put and take mallards had no intention of shooting them once they got thier foot in the rule change door.
    whats our resident ,or any other bloody candidates for that matter,position on bringing layout blinds and boats under the protection of f&g rules?? rather than the current position of looking the other way

    [QUOTEAfter some serious hard thought and discussion with various people, I have decided to stand again. Like Guy, Im of the belief that too long on council stifles positivity and "new energy and ideas." I also feel we achieved much of what we set out to when we first stood.
    However it has become apparent that the majority of the newer councilors have decided not to return, which is worrying of itself.][/QUOTE]

    mm so alls well in auckland waikato research collated recomendations made and ready to be acted on "duck numbers are restored? polluted wetlands cleaned up? and peace on earth achieved??
    ahahahhhh no but they have ,via eastern and with docs collusion,got released mallards on preserves thru just a matter of time now but that couldnt be the reason for a sudden block exodus ?could it??

    Rearing and releasing programmes
    8.1 Introduction
    Rearing and releasing programmes are often viewed as a quick fix solution to creating more ducks.
    To date, both internationally and in the Waikato results have been mixed. In general harvest rates
    are low for captive-reared ducks released into the wild.
    In the Waikato results have varied from less
    than 1% in a wetland area to 22% on Matingarahi Station where a concerted effort was made to
    feed the birds and control predators. In addition, captive-reared mallards have typically been shot
    on the property where they were released, and thus the returns are highly localised.

    Releasing programmes have been controversial in North America and the latest review conducted by
    U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service advocates for a tightening of conditions around the release of captive
    reared mallards in the U.S. The major concerns in the review relates to the potential for disease
    transmission, genetic introgression and compliance with harvest regulations. However, the wider
    issues pertaining to the release of captive-reared mallards are beyond the scope of this discussion
    paper.
    8.2 What is Fish & Game doing?
    Permits to release captive-reared waterfowl are the responsibility of the Department of
    Conservation, and thus there is no statutory requirement for Fish & Game to be involved with or
    even notified of any such releases.
    OUCH
    8.1 Future management options for Fish & Game
    1 Fish & Game should support the banding of captive reared birds by offering to band all captive reared
    ducks at no cost.[WHY WHEN THEY SEEM TO KNOW THE IN,S AND OUTS ALREADY? WOULDNT THE TIME AND MONEY BE BETTER SPENT ON IMPROVING THE LESS CASHED UP HUNTERS LOT AFTER ALL ITS THEM THAT BUY THE BULK OF LICENCES]
    In future year’s survival and harvest rates information can be used to
    draw sound conclusions surrounding the effectiveness of such programmes which can help
    determine future management actionsIT WOULS SEEM CONCLUSIONS ARE ALREADY OBVIOUS
    [.In addition, captive-reared mallards have typically been shot
    on the property where they were released, and thus the returns are highly localised] At this juncture large scale releases of captive-reared
    mallards into the wild do not appear to be a cost effective tool for increasing hunter harvest
    .
    SHIT HOT FOR A 22%INCREASE IN THE RELEASERS BAG THO ??WONDER HOW MANY WILD BIRDS ARE DRAWN BY THE HUNDREDS OF CAPTIVE RELEASE FED BIRDS

    GSP Follower- Refer back to my advice on the Brace Yourself thread. The reduction of 12 positions to 8 coinciding with a high number of candidates is luck. I understand the CEO favours smaller councils, possibly to induce more elections making F&G seem less disfranchised with those it supposedly advocates for?

    I thought you'd like this- "I’m must say I don’t share any enthusiasm for the late Bob McDowell who I knew personally - (we went to Palmerston North Boys High School together - a couple of classes back). We occasionally met in years later and I recall in the 1970s he and Bryce Johnson urging me to drop opposition to trout farming". A quote attributed to Tony Orman

    Interesting there is a some current discourse by trout fishers over trout farming around Taupo- while the likes of Lyndsey Lyons NZF&G Council Chairman- has done his best to enable farmed ducking.... go figure. It is only an assumption that people will spend many thousands buying birds, feeding them gamekeeping and have guests turn up from wherever without cost recovery occurring. It is highly probable they are duck philanthropists- bless their kind soles.

    It is also an assumption there will be "creep" in landowners discovering they can charge reasonably openly to shoot the resource our hunting tax manages for us (?). The future looks great for people of limited means which is spot on as the laws were put in place to ensure classless hunting.

    Some basic observations relating to duck breeding:-

    The regions showing the greatest anecdotal dissatisfaction with the resource are the regions most progressive with bird breeding- which may only be a coincidence or a need for more philanthropy.

    Hunters I have been in contact with, shooting within a few kilometres of where tame mallards have been held and released have found significant decline in their own shooting returns and never shot a tame banded bird. This is either a coincidence or a tribute to gamekeeping excellence which should be applauded in my view.

    DoC don't appear to have done any pre permit studies on the impact bred birds might have on the wild population. I could imagine fed tame birds creating a significant drain on wild populations especially in area's where feeding isn't allowed- e.g. A/W where no feed 1 month out and within 100 meters of shooting stands- a rule seemingly designed for good gamekeeping. I imagine you could train tame and wild alike to tolerate gunfire and even come to a whistle? (this would save some of us having to buy a duck call, assuming you can whistle, decoys and camo clothing, thus cheapening the noble art of duck bothering)

    Nothing happens without the nod of the CEO. Nothing happens without the nod of the CEO. Nothing....

    On the other topic you raised GSPF, though I am not willing to deliberately test it- I feel enough precedent has been set relating to F&G willingly ignoring selected laws which would give a half decent lawyer a better than average crack at overturning or defeating court action for no license, using lead etc. I wouldn't take the mitigation option where I to find myself on the wrong side of game regulations, (which is unlikely).

    exactly and about as likely as the aw coucillor exodus is because the duck populations are fixed and hunters are happy
    The regions showing the greatest anecdotal dissatisfaction with the resource are the regions most progressive with bird breeding- which may only be a coincidence or a need for more philanthropy.
    yep but none of the breeders are f&g reason? as i posted? its a discreditted localised short term fix for the preserve or syndicates.
    gives doc a great chance to stick it to f&g tho how rediculous the statutory body in charge of the species having no say in it captive breeding especially who what for and where??

    im tempted to have doc on to given they use lead when its suits and give blanket excemptions with the same imperious wave of a hand.
    hell im only trying to get them to recognise the hypocrisy in choosing which f&g rules they,l allow to be followed on thier oops i mean our fuckin land.
    i wonder how the crop and other farmers feel about them pestifying one introduced winged species then openly encouraging mass permitted breeding of another winged and introduced species many farmers consider just as much a nuisance???

    jesus whats going on in hawkes bay??
    it would seem the collusion between sections of the players there and in eastern[apparently the centre of all things unholy in f&g at the mo]has created a right mess..
    when commercial interests enter gamebirding its only a matter of time before they put thier interests above the sport.tho with sporting goods sellers that would be self deafeating, not so game bird sellers who are looking for s a steady clientele of syndicates preserves needing to restock yearly ala englands geen and pleasant expensive land.

    Good to see you're not letting any facts on these matters cloud your opinion KWB. You're consistent, if nothing else.

    as are you gq even with the rats abandoning the at least leaky ship now they,ve got thier put and take ducks.
    im betting your right in there tuttutting and excusing them.
    well as the chief cheer leader for change in aw/eastern why dont you inform us of the facts as you see them gquoon??
    after all the change in aw bailing before the job is even half done would appear as a dukshooter ''i told you so ''moment?
    are you a fan of easterns allowing preserve duck shooting given the reports in the aw waterfowl stradegy that the gains from sydicate and ''properties with special conditions'' are short term and localised?

    Follow this link for a response from the Hawkes Bay chairman on the issues and theres also a link to the minutes of their last meeting. Makes for interesting reading.
