Thread: FWF Ban for Non Attendance

I think one piece of relevant info is the other party sharing the block has come forward and said they went in, and weather wasn't great, but still plenty of hunting and not dangerous.
it came across to me as if the cost of the trip may have been a deciding factor too.
FWF is in a no win situation here, they have rules for a reason and it get really hard to let those go on a case by case basis as it will look like favouritism.
As a north island hunter, if I commit to a trip such as this, I make back up plans. If the weather really is bad, go along and forfeit your obligations, then if you have to pull the pin for safety, head for a Tahr or chamois etc where its safer.
In the end if they pulled for safety, they made right decision and a 4 year ban is just part of the acceptance of that.
