Thread: Goose cull today lake Ellesmere

Dont get me wrong, I really enjoy my goose shooting. But, I think if any well known organisation (the Feds or even the NZGBHA - not that I'm implying that either of them were involved in this case) can approach the land owner, DOC, Ngai Tahu and adjacent landowners, and request to conduct an operation to reduce the bird numbers. If there was not cost to DOC, I suspect that approval would be given. This would of course come with some standard conditions regarding firearms.

I don't agree that it should be done this way, but the Fed have budget is this type of operation and suspect others do too.
