Bastards aren’t doing the rest of us a favour by doing this dumb shit.
Heard a rifle shot on the farm today, just thought it was the boss shooting a cow. time i court up with him been a good hour. Done the boundary ride around but no one found . bastards
The language there leaves it very unclear. One reading of it is that they were poaching - aside from the fact that hunting is not allowed currently.
The cynical view is that someone breaking lockdown rules is a better headline, especially as hunting has featured in the debate over what should be allowed under Level 3 restrictions. In the normal course of events poaching doesn't rate much attention.
Only 1 of the 5 is a LFAO
So, poachers, trespassers, in possession of firearms without a licence, in breach of lock-down, but Stuff decides the worst thing they've done is illegal hunting? I guess I'm not surprised.
Anyway, I hope the judge throws the book at them, and then some.
Great article. Reports people deer hunting, show picture of a duck hunter with a shotgun.
On the story, there is a heap of missing information here. Apart from not being allowed to hunt because the Fuhrer said so and they were on private property, out of the 5 people, did only one (the one with the licence) have a rifle, or did they all have rifles? They dont say.
More likely to get in deeper trouble for unpaid parking tickets than poaching so hopfully they go for a skate with the lockdown side of things
FFS
Morons will out aye. Just imagine the crap when we hit level 3 :wtfsmilie:
Stuff, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.
Cops around BOP getting a fair amount of calls from rural adresses hearing shots on or near the property.
'Illegal hunting' term would be in relation to poaching, nowt to do with lockdown, that could possibly be extra charges, although I doubt it.
Shit like this pisses me off. Which part of stay the fuck at home didn’t they get? None of us want to be in lockdown especially at this time of year but most of us are complying. Dumb fuckers are always gonna do dumb shit I suppose.
Hope they screw the living shit out of them. There should be zero tolerance for this and big penalties. It might encourage others to stay the hell at home, although I dont hold out alot of faith. Seems some just dont give a shit about anyone but themselves
A relative received a photo via facebook yesterday showing 3 up against the police car and 2 in the back ground taken in what was thought to be the Mangakino area...when the rest of the world wakes up I will see if he can send a copy...3 were named on fb...our interest is because one of them is believed to be the prick who Z nailed Thompsons Track a while back...it was thought he was Z nailing the track to stop other poachers poaching one of his favourite poaching area.
At least they got caught hopefully they go to jail too many are getting a smack on the hand for poaching let alone doing it in lockdown.
The Marlborough Sounds are still getting poached heaps during lockdown.
Heres us guys on here,doing our best not to hunt in lock down,poach and be law biding gun owners.These wankers just stuff it up for everybody.Should bring back the burch.Overseas,criminals fear the burch to the death penalty,after 6 lashs you still alive,just.You would never break the law again.
Even made the AM show this morning..douchbags..
Maybe they were hungry
Name and shame these picks and then a couple weeks behind bars will be good. Some fresh meat for the seasoned inmates.
These guys don't do "shame", one has been a prolific poacher for some time, been caught before...about a year ago was caught with a stag from behind a fence, was on his way to weigh it in at hunting competition when snapped by police, as his offsider was under age he took the rap and they both walked from court...their usual "hunt" is to drive around an area and use thermal to spot deer and then sneak across farmland on foot to shoot...been at it for a few years now with his parents blessing.
I hate poachers. Hope they get the book thrown at them.
On the world meter web site the deaths from covid -19 is 181,356......and rising.
Perhaps this virus in NZ could get worse ?.....Let alone what politicians and "trusted" government spokes people like Dr David Clarke tell every one ? Wouldn"t it be ironic throught cell phone location tracing that there are other "naughty high profile rule breakers out there" that the government may or might not know about and if they know about it will they likely keep quiet about this information from the media and general public?
Most people are doing there bit to abide by the government rules.
One can only speculate what the media says at times, let alone court outcomes.....and one can only wonder about other covid outdoor rule breakers?
It sounds like the offenders are known on here and this could be a very painful lesson to them?
