DoC were quite clever with the heli-hunting approval process. They oblige operators to provide a cull of females ( IIRC) as a part of the concession. I'm unsure if that cull has to be in proximity of any commercial activity or not, but either way it requires the operators to do stuff in the backcountry.

And yet I had a member of the NZPHGA tell me he doesnt worry about the offsets, hasnt shot any nannies for the past 2 seasons. Cos DoC dont police it! Its a total scam.
