    Lots of typical East coast replies there. I despise the just feeding the family excuse, usually quite a bit is spent on petrol or diesel and equipment, not to mention effort, to get to the poaching grounds, that would go a long way at the supermarket

    Never had FB and never will but looks like a good platform for the pair's customers to vent about poor supply issues in the near future - for meat obviously not the after dinner stuff...

    I like the comment about finding out about poaching in Mangatu forest.
    I've heard of the odd guy waking up on the side of the road with a sore head up there.
    Once usually gets the message through.
    Overkill is still dead.

    That happened down here a few years ago. Apart from the prosecution the families business suffered badly as people cancelled contracts etc

    Was interesting to see 3 or 4 posts on the "nz poacher watch" fb page about recent poaching on Ngamatea by some reasonably prominent hunters deleted repeatedly!

    Can't find anything online about it either so could be bollocks?
