Yes, sadly ironic isn't it, 'Doc' Orbell, one of the founders of NZDA in 1937, rediscovered the Takahe in 1948.

He'd be turning in his grave..

All that hard work done by volunteers gone to waste.....tragic

actually I would disagree as they look similar and would be hard to pick the difference if they were flying away from you at "Warp Factor 9, Mr Sulu"

but more of a concern

If I'm not mistaken Takahe are FLIGHTLESS so who was shooting them "not in flight"........................................... ............

In that reasoning alot of protected waterfowl are fair game then

I see Toby's point of view, the whole situation to me is a sham while we continue to poison habitats from the air and DOC has its head up its behind, I struggle to support the people trying to save birds in NZ. Cats Ferrets,Stoats Rats,Mice, some high end Moari thinking it's still ok to eat certain species, it's like pushing melted butter up a porcupines arse with a hot needle! We need a sane plan, but it ain't gonna happen with Mrs Smith and DOC, IMHO

After having watched 1 news tonight and being told that the hunters were breifed to only shoot birds in the air and were even shown a live Takahe I can only say that this is a very disappointing result.

More bad press for hunters in general.

Bad for NZDA is bad for all hunters member or not.

Doc have been working well with NZDA locally for the benefit of both party's tho I have privately heard of safety concerns from a involved member.

It would appear NZDA could do better in screening/training the membership joining these cull type events, That is where it gets really difficult tho...who is competent/capable and how do you determine that?

First shot head height, second shot in flight, but I've moved on:D
