    Heli in to Xmas hut south island

    Hi guys does any one know if James Scott is working for may. I have emailed him a couple of times and no reply. Email fox halo as well and they tell me $2500 in and out. Last may it was $800.
    If any one has a new email or contacts for James that would be great thanks

    Is there anyone on the west coast not actively involved?
    What happens to the deer population if they arnt shot? They are already exploding out of control?
    The only thing that should change is the shooting of stags

    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    I'd rather boycott the ones dropping 1080....at least WARO does some good.

    I wouldn't be too hard on James just because he is sometimes involved in waro. To be honest, compared to his other operations I think waro would be marginally economic.

    A neighbour of his once told me that James hunts deer from his helicopter because that is what James has always done - it is not about making money.

    I can understand why you might be annoyed. I myself have ventured into the country in the vicinity of his farm. It is a long drive from where I live, followed by a long walk to a hut. To find gut bags lying around as evidence of his recent activities is very annoying.

    My son and I have several times been out for a hunt only to have his helicopter come along the valley just above the tree level, obviously hunting. To his credit he has turned around and left when he has seen us.

    When you go out hunting this is always a possibility, and as distasteful as you might find it, he has as much right to be there as we do.

    If you do venture in to some remote valley in South Westland, even in to the Christmas Flat hut (Xmas hut?), and for some reason you need to set off your PLB, more than likely it will be James who turns up in his helicopter to rescue you. Are you going to say no thanks James because you are involved in waro?
