Thread: NZ Hunter Adventures, starts tomorrow, Sunday night, 8.30pm on Duke, Freeview13/Sky12

well I would kick the arse of anyone who made the dog sleep outside in conditions like that......they swept out hut afterwards,willie was shown on end of broom.
Ive seen many a "person" who calls themself a hunter who leave huts in far worse state and would leave more mess than a couple of hard working well mannered under control dogs....and would have far more parisites both internal and external too. I would happily share my sleeping quarters with those dogs any day.

Can't wait - great TV!!

A good watch as norm

Great show and I hope they continue with the cooking part at the end. Will make sure @BeeMan saves me a whole piece so I can try that pulled venison in the crockpot. And the reloading part was useful - have picked up a couple of useful tips from that.

They knew what the conditions were going to be like before they started their trip. They had the choice not to take the dogs if they didn't want them to be outside. Do you think they should be exempt from the rules or do you think all dogs should be allowed in huts?

well they have provided video evidence of what they did...IF DOC decide its an issue no doubt they will be prosecuted.. I see NO ISSUE.
I would happily see UNDER CONTROL WORKING dogs allowed anywhere,anytime....... as it stands a tramper can take their pooches into DOC controlled block and let them run riot and will have nothing done about it...if you have a permit and are hunting however you are in fireing line...Ive had this discussion with DOC staff before,more than once.
once upon a time huts would have had kennels and a meat safe......
I dont believe ALL people should be allowed in huts,so dogs are no different. feral is feral,no matter if has two or four legs.

The problem is that there has to be one rule for everyone. Would you like to share a 2 bunk hut with a pig hunter with 6 smelly wet dogs?? I know I wouldn't. It is impossible to say "you can have your dog in the hut if it is well behaved" or whatever because like all parents, people think their dog is perfect. And lets face it some people just don't like dogs. DoC know that so it is a way of keeping the peace, so to speak.

I went all considerate and put my dog in the kennel at the Oamaru hut.
The other occupants begged me to bring her in.
The howling, complaining was too much for them.
Used to have her own jacket and would sleep on swanni happy as.
Mind you seldom stayed in huts much then.
Rules are rules but commonsense should apply.
You see dogs sitting on chairs in cafes now.
I am with @mickyduck on this one.

Greg I was a bit harsh on you bud, accused program of being elitist way back. Great Show, your quick brief about reloading was excellent.

Me and boy having a watch now.
Awesome guys.

I am all for common sense. Unfortunately it seem to differ between individuals.

Rules are for the guidance of the wise and strict adherence of fools. I’m quite fond of that saying

I’d imagine that you’d need a concession to film a commercial TV program in a DOC managed area and you need a permit from DOC to fly a drone. With that in mind I was surprised how often the filming showed the dogs inside the hut. It would have been easy to make it appear as if they had never been in the hut.
None the less another great show with the best timed ending, almost scripted! :-)

The dogs must have had a vaccine pass to enter the hut.

Why the Antagonism ? Cant we just take the show for what it is and enjoy it . It is by far the best NZ hunting/outdoor production going.
