So that answers most of your questions, no grey matter, clear as anything....dont shoot stock! Some areas, not many you can get a permit stating that you can hunt wild cattle or sheep. These areas will have a stock of wild animals and unlikly farmed stock. Even thou it has to be wild, anything with a ear tag is no go. Lets face it, if you in a general DOC hunting area and you see a cattle beast if you shoot it you nothing better than a poacher.......breaking ones permit and prob taking someones stock

So if i came across a hare, rabbit, wild cat, or the likes in doc land and wanted to shoot it it would be against the law?
