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.

I only know a few, Haven't personally done ducks yet. Easy enough to see on youtube or FB the amount of empties

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.
