Thread: Illegal hunting..does it bother you?

There's a spot not too far from old forestry roads I used to camp near when hunting a particular area (this is all on DOC land).

Most nights I camped there I heard vehicles tearing around the place and gunshots from 1am - 3am. Almost certain to be guys hooning around spotlighting or using thermals to shoot easy pickings.

I wouldn't camp there anymore due to the risk of being accidentally shot when getting up for a piss in the middle of the night.

It would be so easy to catch these guys if there was any real appetite to do so from DOC or the police. I imagine the same thing happens basically anywhere on public land with reasonable 4x4 access.
