I think you mean "throwing it away"

i find it very ironic and a bit sad that this type of attitude exists amongst a fair amount of the kiwi population.

as a nation that is famous for enjoying the benefits and rewards of extensive travel and work in other parts of the world, why does this attitude still exist ?

how many kiwis live, work, and play all over the world ?

globalisation is a reality - unfortunately, some people only want it to be a one-way street...

Lots of us have (or still do) but we still can't hunt / fish in these "other countries "for free or just the cost of a licence. Nor would they rescue us "for free" if i were required.

I have no problem with overseas hunters or fisherman coming over here. Hell I have taken my guests hunting and fishing, they were all surprised to find they could "just buy a licence" and off they could go"

Can a tourist (with out paying a mandatory guide) just rock up in UK or US get a licence and go trout fishing..................um no, game-bird hunting in the US...................um no, big game hunting in the US........................um no, big game hunting in Africa............um no BUT hunting Tahr in NZ Alps with no experience (foolish but entirely possible)....................hell yes

But hey I also think PLBs should be Mandatory to carry in all NP's just to cut down the cost of actually "finding" you when you are lost or broken as it would mean more $$ available for other "hunts for other people"
