Thread: Level 3 hunting ban lifted - only on private land

I understood Sage had stated DoC had disabled the petmit section of their website.
Have things changed already since their midday and 6pm "pronouncements and edicts"?

No, hunting is not allowed.
Tramping is allowed, despite the PM saying otherwise.

That is no quad bikes etc to access the back blocks.
You'll have to carry in your rifle (within the private property) and carry it out along with what you're keeping from what you've shot.

Of course I could be wrong - there's a first time for everything.

i think this is how i read it too ..... for the life of me i cant see the difference in risk between a hunter (or farmer)) on private land using a quad or ute to get to the far side of the property to hunt and a farmer on a quad going to the far side of his property to check on his herd. they look like they have set this up to placate a few duck shooters who can harvest some game meat under the new rules and so making them look inclusive to the uninformed non-hunting types out there. if i had a chunk of land that held deer or pig i would almost certainly be out there using whatever means , how can a government regulate your activity on your own land when its not an activity that has been legislated as illegal....
its a crock of shit.
what i thought was funny was reading Stuffed article and the first sentence said something along the lines of the roar being postponed.......good on the stags for doing their bit for the covid response and deciding to social distance until the govt says its safe.......

but the PM has almost 3 years experience at prime minister and worked in a fish and chip shop once...... she knows better....... (sarcasm)

The PM gets all her hunting and fishing information from pillow talk...the person to target is whoever shares that pillow.

90% of us still can’t hunt then.

Couldnt travel apart from essentials @Dev and now can so long as its not to "far"?

...and 'far' will be defined by the same people who brought you their Select Committee law-writing then their-own-law-enforcing; your information leaked (multiple times) to criminals for profit; the people who actively encourage Hone Harawira & ilk to block the public roads, but who won't charge or even speak to roaming politicians who break the lockdown; and who sent 12 armed policemen to raid a family man with a newborn babe and toddlers at dinnertime about a Select Committee photo months old, but won't tackle armed gangmembers in their own back yards - but would rather take them to tea.

I'm sure that will work out just fine.

whats not essential to some is essential to others ....if ones priorities dont fall into line with the politbeaureau directives then one becomes a rule/law breaker this is our world

although anyone who wants to tip over an animal on private land (with landowners permission) could get around the no quad rule by saying "im not hunting im doing pest control for the land owner"

Sorry under the blanlet of essential work then . I hardly think its essential that we have to use a quad to go shot some meat

Aw I see you were doing pest control Mr....... who ever . Whats it like making a living as a pest control contractor? Aw your not? Their for your not working so you must be recreationally hunting?

Ive had a yarn with a cocky where I can hunt if I want. He's on the other side of the region and we have agreed that L2 sounds like the right time. L3 is risky for me for the travel and possible exposure to the bug, and its just another layer of responsibility for him if something did go wrong while I was hunting. It would not be fair of me to put him under the spot light. This is another layer of responsibility over and above H&S for the cockies. Best decision I think.

Has anyone actually seen what the “regions” are? They aren’t listed on the Covid - 19 website. Isn’t Wairarapa part of Wellington Regional Council?
