    South Island Ballot Blocks

    Thought just occurred to me that with the restrictions on overseas travel now in place, there must be a number of ballot blocks in Fiordland, Wanaka, Greenstone and Caples, Haast, and the Tahr blocks that were allocated to overseas hunters.
    Must be some vacancies for any Kiwi hunters now, I would have thought.

    Nope not unless your on the wait lists. Already enquired about this. I'm on wait list for first period of otago blocks. They also need to be notified by the attendees they aren't coming.

    might be a case of "watch this space"...........anyone who has block not going to be used,or mates from overseas not able to make it....this as good of place of any to ask for extra bodies to make up party numbers

    The Fiordland wapiti foundation have already posted a facebook notice asking foreign hunters to reconsider coming over to hunt because self isolation procedures will make it practically impossible for it to happen this year. They cannot attend the breifing and places transport operators at risk.
    Save our Tahr. They belong in the southern alps.
