    This new level is really L 3.9. I only expect it to last a couple of weeks while they get a feel for numbers of new cases and then I expect a gradual easing back. Just my gut feeling based on listening and reading.

    If it means not going back to L4 I'm up for a couple of weeks of L3.9.

    I'm also thinking that lobbying so that we can hunt under the new level is likely to result in tightening of the screws across the grey areas rather than easing to meet hunters' demands.

    Out for my morning walk earlier and spotted a ute with two dead wild pigs on top of its dog box.

    So obviously somebody thinks hunting in Level 4 is OK..:

    Now could be the perfect time for us hunters and fishermen to all band together and get behind a certain political party that stands up for us and confirms our interests as a large part of their mantra.which party who knows but there is definitely a large voter base for some party to take up.

    I'm voting for ACT.

    Davey woulda had us out hunting already.

    There's 13 people in hospital across the entire country with the virus.

    I'm sure they can handle the odd sprained ankle.

    I'm voting act and not just because of their stance on firearms. More so their stance on everything, especially democracy and how consistent their leader is.
    I know it wont happen but would like to see even national kicked to the moon.
    If you can sneak in something as abhorrent as prisoner rights to vote maybe someone else can sneak in some more sensible firearms laws.

    Look at the big picture. It sucks that you cant go hunting it may be a conspiracy. We have people (may be some on this forum) that are missing out on cancer treatments, operations/surgery, need specs repaired, while hospitals are almost empty. Jobs and just about whole industrys (tourism) gone. Economists throughout the country are telling the government to get things moveing. But no no no lets keep the brakes on so we can have my 1pm curcus show and show the world how great I am. I think not being able to hunt will be of little conciquence when the shit has passed through the fan and we are taxed to the max, (if you are in work) for the rest of your life to pay for this clusterfuck. On a side note why are we still importing this ppe when we have factories stood idle, pretty sure Swazi/ Twinneedle ect could make surgical gowns and masks ect but no we import it bollocks to the local economy. Rant over

    Really? Good grief, he's the one that created this mammoth fuck up two years ago. He got no fucks to give and never has.

    It is clear they are still angling firearms are dangerous and some scroggin eater won't have a scary gun on them if they need rescuing.
    They hate hunters and hunting that is perfectly clear

    I suspect the primary motivation for not hunting will be the inter regional travel that many hunters need to do in order to go hunting. The rescue services thing is a complete copout when you are allowing things like mountain biking, surfing and swimming to go ahead.

    A far fairer and balanced way would be just to say you may go for a day hunt or hike so long as it is an area that is locally accessed by you.

    At least ill be able to go for a shore dive to rabbit island, along with all 2000 other spearos in tauranga

    Is duck shooting hunting?, sitting on your fat arse waiting for them to arrive, and giving your lungs some exercise in pristine air?
    Boom, cough,cough,cough
