You must ask the landowner for permission first. The policy is only for walking access. It is not for people with guns, people with dogs, people with vehicles, or people with motorbikes or mountainbikes."

Wrong........walking access doesnt mean you cant carry rifles, rods or whatever. Same with a dog if its controled, ie on a lead and stays in the :Queens chain".
Being able to use them while there is a totally different question but getting from point a to point b to hunt etc is ok. Clearly such situations you want to be talking to any landowners your intentions
and what and where you want to go etc. Years ago i used to hunt pigs with my mate and his dogs. There was a landowner who didnt like pighunters etc and wouldnt give permission to cross there land to get to DOC.
We walked up the Queens Chain for the 30mins and hunted. Dont thibk they really liked the fact but as long as we didnt go on their property they couldnt do much about it and did that for years

You know that press release is dated 2004. Secondly the whole point of having a so called Queens chain is allowing access to public land, bush, rivers, lakes etc for the public to enjoy there rec activities
without being blocked by private landowners.
So to access the public land to hunt, fish etc clearly you allowed to take a firearm, rod or dog as if not you couldnt do the Rec activities on public land that they have allowed access to from having a queens chain .

Plus, i also state that the police confirmed at the time to my mate that walking the river bed thru the queens chain on that farm to hunt the DOC land was fine as long as
we didnt step foot on the private land .....of cause that means taking rifles, dogs was perfectly fine as thats what you needed to hunt the pigs.
So maybe show us something that states you cant thats updated and just doesnt mean in the queens chain but accessing Doc thru it

The Queen has been around since 1953, so something dated 2004 is relevant...and I would be dubious about the word of one policeman, unless he/she gave it in writing.

Well, if you making your decisions on 17 year old statements and cant see clearly the point i was making thats up to you. I say again, the Queens Chain is for the purpose is it not to allow access
to puclic land that otherwise may not be able to access if blocked by landowners. The purpose to get access to this land is to do REC activities which the biggest percentage would be to hunt and fish.
To hunt you need rifles etc so do you really believe you cant carry a rifle thur queens chain to get to DOC land where you hunting.
Makes totally no sence at all and people have been doing it for years so your agruement saying otherwise is pretty ilrelevant esp as you got nothing to back it up and quoting someting from 17 years ago
doesnt mean its still the facts and actuaaly what it means in real terms how you read it

Find and show your theory by legislation....just because my link is 17 years old does not make it invalid.
