Thread: Goose cull today lake Ellesmere

You don't need anything more complicated than a DOC hunting permit to kill geese on the lake be it 1 or 10,000.

kotuku - I don't think anyone is going to get slapped on the wrist with a wet bus ticket for this one given that nothing happened in the wrath of 2011. The more likely outcome is that they will do another cull as 250 must have been well under their target.

id be surprised if doc issued another permit after the breaches of thier last one unless they were along to supervise??choppers cant just fly and shoot anywhere on public land theres height limits they can fly at for a start.to have a target number suggests they have had a count on the lake any nzgbha info or doc on the numbers???

ps didnt ross millechamp used to be a f&g guy??he,s the area conservency manager for doc now
