    What a load of emotional clap-trap from Chambers!
    (Where is she when 1080 is being dropped?)

    Glad the F&G rep pointed out that most of the harvestable meat had be taken - and good point about the fast food rubbish!

    Doesn't matter if it's clap trap or not it's the shit that is willingly published by the media and read by the masses who then form their continuing negative opinion.
    And clap trap or not the remains were dumped in a publish place. The fact that the nicer bits have been removed is irrelevant. WTF is wrong with people?

    A hell of a lot of duck shooters are alcoholic fuck wits who blast away at the ducks. Don't harvest the meat and are well pissed by 9am. Dumping ducks has been going on well before I was born.

    well then as a responsible FAL holder you should be first on telephone to report the drunkin behaviour so the licences of those few are removed....
    in 30 plus years of duck shooting ,including 5 as warranted ranger,I have NEVER seen drunkin behaviour...I can ASSUME some bevvies were being consumed by folks shooting evening close to vehicles but dont know for certain....
    it has been illegal for many years to leave gamebirds on ground/water so these bottom dwellers can be procecuted.....twice actually as ranger ALSO has powers under the littering act..... but we seldom hear of anyone being caught.
    tip here::: for anyone breasting out birds and putting the remains in otto bin (as I do most years) cut the wings n neck off.... anyone seeing the carcase will see its been utilized . the big issue with this lot of bird dumping is the where it was done...IF IN FACT it was done there and the ANTIs havent scavenged them from elsewhere and put them there to take photos...has happened before.

    And what if the group of "hunters" you are supposed to report is mostly the people you are supposed to report these things to!

    report to police......if you are seeing police drunk and handling firearms...111 would be appropriate.

    Come rangering in the Wanganui/Rangitikei area, the f*%king idiots are everywhere. Go to the pub at lunch time, half the people in there can hardly stand up.

    Someone who did a mildy stupid thing has given a soap box and microphone to the antis to have a go at what is largely a healthy and sustainable pastime. Jumping from littering to banning duck hunting is a commendable leap, and makes full use of the proverbial 15 minutes of fame.

    Shit when I served my apprenticeship, we would sit in the smoko room at the freezing works listening to the clatter of pellets on the roof after every bang from the swamp, drinking our tea and munching on our pies, wishing like shit we could be out there with them!! Instead of working!!
    Never thought one lot might come through the window and break a cup or worse?

    Hunters hit women with errant pellets.
    Said hunters have yet to come forward (last report?)
    Hardly ambassadorial behaviour methinks.

    Unless of course somehow it was the women's fault....
    A few more entries on this thread should see that start to turn in that direction maybe?

    I was wondering the women had permission to be out of the kitchen or laundry at the time but have been to scared to ask in these modern woke times. Does this count toward getting there? Just trying to help Phil!

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Ultimately we are all responsible for our own and others safety.
    But some people are very inconsiderate and do not think of others and their pursuits.
    You see people swimming in the area zoned for water skiing.
    Fisherman out on boats the first weekend of May.
    We don't go near Taupo during Ironman or around Taupo cycle race.
    Avoid hunting rivers when they open for fishing.
    School holidays long weekends consider influx of trampers.
