    Auckland based spearo here, (definitely not Northland), Always keen to dive with new people and with those that enjoy collecting seafood for a feed not glory.

    Bop spearo here. There's a couple of us on the forum. Run a relatively large spearfishing club, never go diving because I work all the bloody time.

    Or it could go the other way and be an exercise in white male bashing or bleating about the disadvantages of being a Maori.:)

    So if two people are hunting together, one licensed one unlicensed, and they both are carrying bolt action rifles. They should be ok as long as only one rifle has the bolt in it at a time and the...

    Very well said Micky Duck. Most would be more eloquent in their description, but 'bullshit' might also suffice. Incidentally this is why I don't believe the law change was prepared in advance,...

    My understanding is immediate supervision means you can reach out and take hold of the firearm. If there are two unlicensed shooters at the same time, this would mean one of them is unsupervised. As...

    I’m kind of the reverse, hunting is my bread and butter and although I grew up scuba diving for scallops and crays, I have started doing a bit of spear fishing during the summer month’s now too
