Thread: Got asked for my permit today

First time ever i was asked by a DOC guy if i had a hunting permit and can i see it as i was walking out of the hunting block, i always have one and had it on me so all was well. Was quite helpful after he checked it out, told me some pointers on where some sign was, just doing his job and had no complaints

Yet to see a doc employee on doc managed public land.
The new permit is gay i recon. The old one they posted was good waxy card and lasted for months in ya bum bag.
Now you have to print it i don't bother.

I just put mine in a zip-lock bag. Does the trick.

Wow .... I get my permits every year but never bother to print them as well. they just dont last ...... am now thinking the glovebox mite be a good storage spot as i always see doc when im in the wagon.

Only been asked for mine once, and that was by an "Honourary Officer" of the Tuhoe persuasion at Tawhana, near the Otane stream. Took a while to dig it out of the pack, but he actually took a note of the details and was pleasant enough.

+1

Only ever been asked by a f**kwit farmer on DOC managed hunting block.

I've got some pulpy bits in the bottom of a pouch,better print them again

Never been asked to see a hunting permit but always carry it in my pack along with my hut passes

Printed and stored in the zip lock with the fire starting kit ...... worst comes to worst I'll get to burn it.

Print it, fold it, put it in a coin bag from the bank.

In my backpack or bumbag, so always at hand.

I want to be aske for my permits. Just like my FAL I was happy when I got asked for it just because I could say yes. But just like fish and game never seen a ranger in my life

I do the same.

Mine is always in a ziplock bag with my map.

Always carry one on me an have a spare lot in my truck. Usually if I'm hunting my truck will be parked on doc land so I leave one on the dash. Good to see them being proactive aye.

save mine as pdf to my iPod which I use for ballistics so is in my range finder case. easy
