@gimp You have picked up my point.

Who gives FWF a mandate ?
As a trust they have "objectives". list of published objectives on web site
They don't seem to have an objective to run a wapiti ballot. What powers do they have to do it and what are the ground rules ? Their main leverage must be through controlling helicopter access and possibly hunting permits, which would be through DoC.

This is the closest section to promoting or organising hunting.
3.1.4 To inspire responsible educational adventure in the mountains and wilderness areas of the Fiordland National Park and particularly the area in which the Wapiti type feral deer herd is located.
Admittedly, there could be more in objective 1, 2 or others that aren't on their web site.
