Can anyone confirm that the DOC online permit thingy is working? I'm trying to "renew" and it just times out.
Nice new site by the way :)

Yeah the online permit thingy is the best thing DOC have done for years :thumbsup:
I'm struggling to access it strangely but DOC are helping me renew via email which is great. Thx for posting
Except your printed version will be unreadable after one wet day,the waxy card one they used to send ya was great lasted forever in your bum bag and only took a two minuit phone call to getQuote:

The permit system doesnt work with Mozilla and a few others if that is your browser
i've been asked for my permit while out hunting, well when I got back to the truck. they were doing a bit of a blitz on people hunting without permits on the blue mountains a while back, well that's what the doc guy told me. I keep my online acquired permits in a zip lock bag, if they get wet and destroyed I just print new ones.
been asked to show my permit around National Park

Sorry Toby but I keep tripping over the cord on the phone and it isn't that long:pacman:
I just download it to my fone, and fold up the printed version and keep it in a plastic bag.Quote:

Is there any way too print off just one grid on the doc map?
The online system is really cool and saves a heap of time. BUT I had a permit to hunt the Mt William area in Auckland, I never saw another hunter on any of my trips there but DOC closed the hunting area altogether because they had issued an amazing amount of permits online and got nervous all of a sudden because it is a relatively small area. I bet that 80% of the permit holders had never even been there.The system is so easy i can see it being tempting for some to get a permits for all areas. I just hope no more smaller areas get closed for similar reasons.
The new system is gay.
I liked the old wax card one. My printer never had any ink and now it has no cable so might as well wheeli bin it.
The only time i have been asked is when asking for permission to cross private property to hunt public land and i had the wax card in my bum bag to show him. I guess the owner figured if i had bothered to get a permit i might actually be goin to hunt the doc managed land not his.
