They contact plenty of people we got contacted at home and the old's pretty much said yeh you can shoot varmits, etc or pheasants during season (we have tonnes) but no big game as numbers are limited and we enjoy hunting them. I've persuaded them that being close to Rotorua and already having our tiny population of fallow poached to near extirpation (extinct in an area) we dont need to allow people on our place as it would be very simple to come back and poach. Yes you can see star ratings but its easy to just create a new account everytime you do something naughty and get caught look at Trademe for example.
