Does that mean if we still have active public land permits we can hunt public land ?

Not if they have been cancelled.......be interesting of DoC were to allow tramping, but decline to issue hunting permits, though.

I'm more of the view that this is 'cock-up rather than conspiracy' on the part of govt. And I think it reminds us of how far below the horizon hunting is on most politicians radar, and how little they know of or understand it, and us.

And I'd further note that there is an argument that would suggest that we have a role to step up and ensure we are heard of we want that to change?

This.

They may well think meat is grown out the back of the supermarket in plastic containers.

The notion of living off the land as a necessity doesn't seem to occur to them.
