Firstly for someone who judges me from where I live , look in the mirror and judge yourself by the same standard.
Some clearly do not see the situation for what it is but by what they think they can gain. Winter is the worst time ever to go into the unknown ,paddocks are swamps? and rivers high. Lambing has started or near over and remember No Sheep-No Meat-No Wool-No milk(for some)-No Income.And as for poaching ask any Cocky/Forester about it?.
Goat numbers on DOC land in the Waikato/Ruapehu districts are not high ,but on private land they can be and some rely on those goats to keep them afloat as that area is not the best.
And for a little additional information , I have been an NZDA member since 1990/1
