Thread: No hunting under level 3

I'm pretty sure the guidance for tramping is day tramps only on easy tracks. So i would imagine the hunting guidelines will be similar to what @Hiawatha has written. I doubt hyou will allowed to do a fly in tahr trip.

My son commented that one should go hunting as soon as the restrictions are lifted.
His reasoning was that animals have been moving into areas that they previously weren't found in due to the lack of traffic and people. Therefore the first "day" hunters might find animals lower and closer than they usually are. Makes sense to me.

Was just talking on ph to a mate in the far north. He said the behaviour up there was little different from prior. Following Hone's example no doubt

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.

Which one of those people has a degree in theology?

This is a very good article about Ashley Bloomfield’s experience. He has absolutely the right credentials to be in charge at the moment.

Why not politely copy AB your plea for hunting? Anyone know his email?

Hopefully the Pollies don't get in his way, or kneecap him.

An email to him as "Director General of Health" should reach him. Should be published on govt website.

David Seymour is on our side.
Alert Level 3 ban on 200,000 hunters illogical.

“The Government’s decision to ban an estimated 200,000 Kiwis from hunting at Alert Level 3 is illogical and I have written to Jacinda Ardern and Winston Peters to ask them to reconsider this issue”, says ACT Leader David Seymour."

STOP PRESS.

That didn't take long.
Following David supporting us, the Show Pony's stable boy, Grant was reported on the 0900 Sunday Radio News as saying "they had made a mistake" about banning hunting and were going to look at it again............

There is a very good vid message on the front page from the GAC. I think that its right on point.

I hope that hunters' take it on board.

It reads well and comes across as well considered. Nice job GAC.

Take this with a grain of salt, but high chance we see an extension of Level 4 for another 7 days, to the following Wednesday. Reason being, to stop a large number of people travelling during the Anzac long weekend.
