If so why don't you understand the differences between the domestic economy and foreign exchange income derived from export sales
Freeloading is what the AATH parasites do on public land.
Do you include guided hunting in this statement ? DOC would say that ATH was helping the taxpayer with free control and no risk.
So as I’ve said, cull the tahr, helihunters can fuck off.
Commercial activity should not occur on public land to the detriment of the public.

How is it detrimental to the public to have commercial hunting helping control Tahr which need their numbers reduced ?? Once a meat recovery industry starts up again it will run continuously and that Will be detrimental. Tahr are in a completely different situation to Trout with commercial guides making a living off the public estate to the detriment of local fishers

Well that reply is mixed up with the quoted piece ???

I concede that there needs to be more balance. But nothing in life is ever fair to everyone.

It’s amusing how the story changes.
This thread started with the NZDA quoting AATH as crying they would go broke if numbers were culled.
Sounds like we both know know that’s complete bullshit

The professional guides who hunt on public land and provide 'fair chase' hunts will be gone but the guides from the hunt parks outside of the Tahr zone, for example the Nth Island parks will just use the other hunt parks inside the tahr zone or they might stop offering Thar hunts. So 'Stew Point' and 'Dry Creek' will do more business and Ethos will see machines carrying Tahr off the hills every time he goes hunting and will be very unhappy and will cry out to the Lord and ask why he is being punished so when before he was so blessed.

Lol unless you read anything I wrote.
You should be watching the rugby

started then changed channels.
probably about time we lost a game
