Has anyone been into Elliot stream block?
Interesting that hunters now seem happy to take up ballots in the poisoned areas - DoC couldn't give these blocks away last roar. Having spent a bit of time in these areas this year and last, it was certainly slim pickings - hopefully we hear stories of numbers rebuilding. Good luck to all those with a block.
You're right but poisoned areas create vacuums; always have and always will. Just a matter of how long it takes to repopulate those areas from the few remaining within, and the adjacent blocks.
Problem with the ballot is that its not the plentiful meat animals that hunters are targetting (well not initially anyway), but something with a decent bit of bone. Its these animals that are getting harder to find.
Stuffed up a ripper last roar, so good luck to anyone who finds him.
@Tahr has his poker face on , on behalf of the entire south island I decree for the time being you can keep them(at least for a short time over the roar) , we are happy enough with ...Tahr , cham , whitetail and the biggest reds & fallow heads in the land , though I am open to bribes...& no I do not work for the goverment

I was lucky enough to get the block I was after. Five Mile 3rd period. First time hunting in the Molesworth so pretty excited to check out new country
@Hiawatha, Molesworth was for a long time a 'Landcorp' farm, but as we all know has been transferred to Doc and then leased back to Landcorp most likely under a grazing lease not a property lease. Have you considered asking Doc Wellington for a copy of the lease just to find out what it actually says. It would be very interesting to know if any hunting at all is permitted in the closed blocks regardless of who is doing it and who decides closing / opening
It will be interesting to hear how those 1080 blocks go this year? Should be a few deer reappearing in them.
Shut up, get out & start pushing!
I live under the flight path from a local heli hunter who is always up in the Rainbow Molesworth area, it's not often his craft doesn't have animals slung underneath it.
