On the news tonight and ahead of schedule.
havent seen anything yet......
Well then they can bloody well stop now:blah:
We really need an “As if emoji”!
Caught the end of it on 3 news
just been on....nothing drastic said etc etc...I did notice they showed thar being pursued but didnt shot any being shot....cant be upsetting the public with reality now.
What a shame.
They were using evil shotguns? Not the evil military styled killing machines?
I wonder what the cost to the tax payer has been so far.
I’m sure it’s less than one day on the steal back:o:O_O:

avgas /helicoptor hire ??? 100 animals per hour = 100 hours??? at what ??? $800 per hr??? $80,000
wages of guys doing the shooting and number crunchers in orifaces 6 months so $30,000 each x ??6 people $180,000
so somewhere around 300,000 without taking helicoptor into account so $30 per animal????
Maybe but maybe not,could be old footage of the late Paul Hondy he favoured a shot gun with buck shot.Quote:

How exactly have 10,000 kills been counted? How many were wounded, and how carefully were they counted. I’m betting the true figures are higher.
Helicopter was not DOC property, nor was pilot DOC employee, so they don't carry cost of that.Quote:

If the image upsets you, the poor boy survived, before and after photos here.
They will be invoiced for costs incurred - Its called Hire. If the Pilot was under contract even as a contractor and not an employee, they are still responsible for what happens when they are paying him to do the job. We are responsible for subbies on our site even though they are not our employees. So correct, DoC did not own the chopper or employ the pilot, but the chopper and pilot was being paid for by DoC and will fall under the cost of the operation.Quote:

we wouldn't want guns to be seen as useful on a nationally broadcast program at prime time now would weQuote:

All that is rather crazy in so many ways... :pissed off:
One thing I have never really understood even though I have been following this issue for quite a while: Yes, bulls are not being targeted. But I would imagine females have no chance to escape in most cases as there is too little cover. Is that true? If yes, does it mean total eradication of females in the given areas? Or are some mobs of tahr being skipped or something? Might be naive but I'm wondering.
Public now know that guns are extremely scary and the mere sight of one will be enough for Tahr to have died of fright.Quote:

Searching for tahr when there are hardly any there IS expensive.
What is the relative benefit of this vs creaming off thousands of easy tahr in their established range ?
That makes sense. Thanks!:thumbsup:Quote:

Careful now, next will be a ban on huntingQuote:
