You couldn't get a worst roar block system and considering how popular the area is it's pretty dismal.
Could be a dud roar in there anyway looking at those photos of the poisoned deer.

Bugger !!
Its a shame for sure how the system is set up.
1080 doesn't get them all mate. Might be heaps of feed for the ones left and some good condition animals as a result

2min after the system went live !!

Interesting thing is that only 2 of my 4 chosen blocks were in the "5 quickest filled blocks" listed in the email.

It just doesn't make any sense !!

Only 5 mile which was my last choice was on the email, the other 4 I picked were not mentioned at all.

None of the ones I selected were mentioned as well. Maybe a well thought and written email to DoC Renwick on the merritts of a ballot system may help for next season. Certainly can't hurt especially if it is polite.

Anyone else not heard back? I received my email saying that they had received my application but nothing saying yes or no

It got them all in 2017, I can assure you.

Here is the reply i got from DOC regarding my application and there backwards system…

“ We were able to see you did get your first application in within the first couple of minutes, followed by a second attempt. You are correct it has not processed as it should? The Webteam are going to look further in to it.”

My lovely wife put in a ballot application for me first thing Monday and we missed out. Never mind.
This afternoon I spoke to someone at DoC Renwick and apparently change in the system is no it's way.

@Shearer
Any comment on the nature of proposed changes ?
I think many would be happy with a better system for allocating Roar blocks.

No. Not really my place. Wouldn't like to jump the gun.

Good to know change is in the air anyway

Not all of them bud, they’re still there. Sure as shit got a good thin-out though. Wasn’t nice to see.

I couldn't find any live ones after a few hours in a helicopter, from what I was told the NZDA couldn't either using a helicopter as well. Sure was a lot of dead ones though. They filtered in slowly over time. Still not what is was pre 2017 though.

They really need to go to a proper ballot system like Haast do.

Mildly interested in what you were doing in the area requiring 'a few hours' flying time. The only operations having taken place that i know of are aerial spraying, pre-feed and 1080 applications, aerial inspection of Transpower lines. That and a certain chopper operator who shall remain nameless who gets around a bit.
