    Surely lightning doesn’t strike twice @tonyd?

    Ok. I have spoken to DoC Nelson Lakes and they say WARO are supposed to notify the district office if they are going to be working in an area. They have not had any notification for the ballot areas for over two years so if someone has been in there they shouldn't have been. The deer numbers for last years ballot seemed pretty high. Here is a summary of deer seen/shot for the 2021 spring ballot and 2022 roar. These are the average number of animals seen/shot by each party. They have increased the length of the ballot period to 6 day this year too.

    Check out Murchison Helitours facebook page. Rob has put up a bit of recent footage when flying over the area.

    Jeez that's a mob and a half. Not too sure if that was sensible posting that on social media.

    Yeah. True. I guess he though it was good advertising to get people flying in.

    Just checked in with Nelson lakes hunting@doc. Blocks will be open during the roar, Dates for Roar 23 will be posted on the Nelson lakes hunting page when available. Just getting through the current process.
