Thread: Hunting permits

The attitude recieved was probably justified due to the amount of low lifes either poaching the farm land directly or crossing paddocks without permission. (And if they were doing that im sure they wouldnt have had a doc permit either)

I was told to go hunt mid dome instead because it was accessible from the road. Pity I didnt have a permit for there and it was the weekend! Made for a good climb without the rifle none the less. And as a conciliation found a few likely spots.

But my thoughts are if those people who weren't permitted to hunt in or around the station didnt trespass my odds of gaining permission for a hunt would have been far more likely.

Moral of the story. Pull ya finger (s) out and jump on the net and grab a permitt and ask farmers permission before crossing their land for cripes sake. Its that easy!

You sure it was the station manager you talked to? He's a real good bloke.
