Letting the authorities/pollies know has resulted in...nothing at all.

A mate gave up possuming in the Ureweras as he got sick of dragging his arse up and down that steep countryside (good sized skins mind you) all day long only to get back to the hut and find someone sleeping in his sleeping bag, and another one cooking up a feed of his rationed out for a one-month-stay tucker.

In the end he asked the NZFS what huts could not be accessed by horse...and went there. But it wasn't long till he found 2 legged sign on the tracks and less food in his keep than when he left the hut that morning

True XR. There's a level of lawlessness that remains in there to this day.

Telling the cops or TUT would result in sweet FA being done.

Used to be that if you had some contacts with some of the elders, you were ok. The Biddle and Tamihana families were who we used to deal with, and they were good people. Think they are all gone now.

Did they burn the Te Pua hut down does anyone know?
