Thread: Hunting permits

with the introduction of the DOC permit site and the ease to renew permits I was wondering how many of you hunt public land with a current permit? Do even bother to get a permit?

Yip get one for entire country once every 4 months.

Why wouldn't you get a permit when its that easy?

Though I have to admit you just reminded me to check mine, turns out it had expired so have now renewed it! Hadn't realised they were only 4 months now.

never ever bother, not much they can do if you are confronted by a DOC ranger, but take your name, just give them a false name

I can assure you that judges frown on that sort of shit, especially where firearms are involved.

I always have a current permit for the entire North Island. So easy to get it and print it these days compared to years ago. Hunting on DoC land without one is illegal. Doing so is just dumb arsed.

I'm happy to get my permit on line. I make a point of setting up the expiry date on my ph so I don't forget to renew it. The frustration is obtaining clear boundary mapping...

allways get one printed out . but keep loosing them. its in the glove box some where.
Has any one ever seen a DOC ranger? haha

Doc have an online permit application process, it enables everyone to enjoy our forests and reserves responsibly.

The offence would change from not having a permit to giving false information...a real dumb thing to do when carrying a firearm

I don't bother printing them, just keep a copy on my phone which I pretty much always have with me.
