Thread: Fish and Game

I have owned a DS license since I was old enough to hold a shotgun and a fair few trout licenses as well. I resent every dollar I have spent! I've just bought this years license and I've got to say I nearly didn't.
As a dairy farmer I am sick of having the boot stuck in by Fish and Game! They spend all this time blaming farmers for water quality, without ever looking at the pollution that flows in from towns and cities (storm water and in some cases sewrege) . Yet when it comes time to collectively solve the problem via the 'Clean Stream Accord' Fish and Game pull out! Great things have been achieved in recent years and farmers have a far better understanding of the flow on effects of their nutrient decisions, but Fish and Game are not helping!

I'm not convinced they actually want water quality, I think they just want someone convenient to blame for the lack of it AND they are wasting MY license fees doing it!!!!

If you're the landowner or manager you don't need to buy a license...

I'm a Sharemilker, but I don't just shoot on the farm. I shoot opening on a public lake in central HB so unfortunately I need a license to claim my hut and I'm pretty sure you need one to shoot 'off' farm. It would solve my problem though
