Aren't the Molesworth Roar blocks drawn by ballot ? Not part of first in system...??

Supposedly but living here have discovered those who can get their application in within a couple of minutes of it opening are usually successful. I didn't and didn't get a block, but know someone who took a day off got in within 2 minutes and got a block, both @Shearer and myself missed out.

Got in early last year and got one though, so it does pay to be on the ball quickly.

No first in first served. I have deleted the email now but seem to remember all blocks were taken in the first few minutes after the application form going live !!

Exactly. They opened at 9:30 and I missed out having mine in at 9:37. A mate got his in at 9:32 and got one. I couldn't fill out the form any faster

Think you'll find most, if not all of the blocks get a fair old goin over before the roar. All you need is a doc permit.
I know of 2 13 pointers that came out of one of the roar blocks on the weekend.

Most of the blocks are roar only so shouldn't happen unless its poachers which does happen

Actually that's not correct @Happy Jack.
Most of the blocks can be hunted with permit approval outside of the roar. I have had 2 permits for a molesworth block granted in the past, one in may and the other was Feb. Had to cancel both times as had pretty big weather fronts hot.

Been there done that, with DOC permit approval

Yeah me and a mate have the maukuratawhai block . Had a fair bit of doc work going on in there the last few months so not sure if it’s still worth a look .

28th to the 4th I think it is , so not sure which period that is .

I would say it is worth the look, not sure if the blocks can be passed on or not. You have booked it which means someone else can't go, that alone should be reason enough to have a look.
