Nice mate does it say where the deer are:)
Got asked as well at clements rd over easter. Apparently due to the mishaps round campsites over the last yr or two.
DOC cop some shit, but their higher profile around the road ends this year has been great. Some stupid prick was spotlighting around the end of Waipakahi Rd over Easter. There were complaints from hunters camping down there and to their credit DOC reacted really well.
I got asked for mine Easter weekend. Was in the dunny and heard a ute pull up in the car park. Get out and it's a DOC ute, dude comes over and asks for my permit. I figure yeah, sweet DOC dude fair enough. Turns out he is only a token ranger that cleans the toilets and mows the lawn, has no authority. Next time I'll ask for ID.
He does a fucken awesome job cleaning the toilet though. Like a 5 star hotel.
always carry mine on my duckshooting beltplus assorted wildlife permits for ellesmere.never been checked but hey theres always a first time.
