Also it wasn't forced on the land owners to get access for the current op. They decided to let it go ahead. They also aren't helping to make it a success just letting the powers that be, do their thing.
I know what you're saying tho in relation to pests on private property.

I knew of one release ( not this one ) every time the Contract hunter turned up they would put a huntaway out and chase any deer out well back into scrub - thought it a hell of a joke - well it was - Contractor most annoyed

In the meantime the rats, possums and pot holes continue to ravage the people of Northland..... what a waste of money . Many other species doing far more damage in the bush up there.....
