I think from reading the plan (once a while ago) it said something like eradication for everywhere within the proposed area- except an area where the council has an agreed management plan in place....

Well when this issue arose recently.... I did ask one of the Auckland NZDA branches if they submitted on the Auckland RPMS. The response was -submitting was a good idea they will put it to the board....

I was surprised that guides have gone from a "scant dozen or so to 10 times that and more". Thats a lot of pressure on a limited public resource- this magnified by the fact Tahr will be culled back...

Your question is highly relevant. Both versions I hyphenated above lead to the same outcome.

A group (mostly anonymous) appear to have been given power of "vito" over recreational hunter access...

This is a little interesting but doesn't change the status of the ballot nor my disappointment.

Tahr Foundation- "The West Coast DoC guys did this with the best intentions, but unfortunately they...

I was given a response that intimated discontent from within the hunting fraternity caused the retraction. That is unlikely to be recreational hunters, most of which- like me would have been excited...

Essentially yes, but the contracted returning officer is not the returning officer for all regional elections necessarily. Sometimes it's the regions manager. Collation of information would fall to...

Warrick Lammp is a bit "Shadey" (see what I did there) and already knows the rules. He was wasting your time as you can see by his quote.

"Under the Fish and Game Council Elections Regulations...

The returning officer I suspect has been told forthright to refer all enquires back to NZF&G. I was told not long after the election by the returning officer that they were not contracted to provide...

Cut it out. It's pretty tame censored opinion over there these days. There's a perfectly informative thread running here.



That's good to hear and good on you and your association. I felt it a...

It's not as cut and dried as that I don't think. There could be an honest discussion on this topic. The concept has some merit. Less access may be bought out from the average kiwi hunter- which is...

You're a very perceptive fellow. I doubt there has been any real move to move Parries to schedule 5- Unprotected, or if being a native it would even be possible but it is interesting that Nth Canty...

This is Wellington F&G policy on that matter dating to 2001

4a- The capture, keeping, and release of game birds for
i- bonafide scientific investigation bla bla
ii- live removal from a...

My take is that F&G are not only fully aware but quite involved with put and take mallard operations while trying to portray ignorance. The latest round of elections and the dishonesty displayed by...

Agreeing with MassiveAttack I wouldn't get too hung up on 3in shells. Choke constriction is more important if it's fixed. I pretty much exclusively use 2 3/4 inch shells with a quarter choke and do...

Canadian Canada Geese on holiday crapping in our water or just NZ Canada geese crapping in the water? It's one of the great mysteries....

Yip there is some issue's. I have it on reasonable authority one of the Lehman Brothers Directors wants to audit Freddie Mac which would be useful. Nothing to see here :thumbsup:

I knew it! You're a god damn genius :D If I haven't said it before- nothing gets solved by chatting on internet forums. From a public discussion point of view this is a dead story.

Yes it is



Yeah I'm not so sure. A commission would be bound by legislation and policy or at least be held closer to it. Lets not forget the legislative framework is in place to manage sports...

Omnipotence doesn't require it- nor a legitimate election for that matter.

Man you are such a pessimist! There was some effective shooting and killing tame birds has to be way more for filling than breaking clays.

If it doesn't affect wild populations then I have no...

This would be a bit of you wouldn't it? Hope I haven't put this up before. "wild" duck "hunting" North Island? :D

From what you reference there is so much bullshit talked (effective shit talk though) it laughable. Honestly people are so gullible. If they just bothered to fact check.....

What most people...

:thumbsup: I didn't mean for that to come across as derogatory. There is a bunch of people, a fair chunck from HB that are wondering "WTF just happened". The regimented lot had a landslide. I shall...

Yeah something like that- In the social media battle between :sarge: and :cave: it wasn't a contest, was never going to be.
