How can an application that goes in at 9.35am be not successful when the first blocks were allocated in the first 10 minutes. I put in for 4 different blocks and 4 different dates.
I put in an application just for me to speed my application with the option of adding others later if successful like I have done before.
Heard from a ex Hanmer work colleague they all missed out down there too but his brother from Culverden did manage to get a block again.
@Happy Jack I got a "confirmation email" back from them that my application had been recieved at 9.32am.
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 !!

Didn't go my way which was expected as my typing speed is below average. This system suits the fast typing kind of hunter.Quote:

Could be a dud roar in there anyway looking at those photos of the poisoned deer.

1080 doesn't get them all mate. Might be heaps of feed for the ones left and some good condition animals as a result [emoji106]

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

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.Quote:

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.

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.Quote:

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.Quote:
