I getting to think that maybe F&G don't really give a rats arse. Ask them what the prospects are - almost tumbleweeds. Read the permit about the forests and I'm sure they just recycle the same from year to year. Starting to wonder what the hell I'm paying my hard earned coin for...

Vented now, thank you.

Off to do some reading about rabbit pie...

On the public land or farms though?
Then I suppose there is the issue of hunting with a shotgun on DOC land

I have had many similar conversations with locals, have got to know some F&G staff that have similar concerns that enough isn't being done for habitat management in these areas for upland bird hunting but was reassured there are some within the organization trying their best for us...
