Turned out unlike us the WARO operators don't have to be 500 metres from tracks, they can do it pretty much anywhere!

I'm not out for it to be banned and certainly would prefer WARO to 1080 I just want ground hunters to be given a fair crack. A chopper can be out of walking distance within couple of minutes so I don't think it'd be too harsh to have a exclusion zone around roads.

Fair comment mike and I agree but cant see it happening
