    I got told by DoC late last year that they were not allowing mid-week hunting for now in the DoC blocks, I think due to Earnslaw forestry operations. Anyone know if that's still the case?
    cheers

    Pretty sure they do allow them as the options for mid week blocks are still in the application form, unless they forgot to update that. I just know that certain blocks are off limits during weekdays.

    That's correct, Tramways and a couple of other DOC blocks are closed week days, as are all Ernslaw blocks. Most DOC open during week, still need win them in ballot, or get issued by DOC.
