You a mouthpiece for DOC now HC?
A good start would be DOC publishing animal density maps so hunters know where to bomb hard. Why not?
Or ring the office and find out the tahr guy isn’t in this week so no info.
If hunters aren’t kept in the loop their contribution is minimised, I’d suggest that’s on purpose.

The problem as I see it, is that 'Hunters' are such a fragmented disorganised bunch of non trusting individualists that we are our own worst enemy. Have a read of the 'Game Animal Council' documents online 'Ethos' and see what a massive headwall of work is in front of us. As a group of individualist moaners we wont get anywhere with any Govt departments. The GAC has got statutory powers and representation under an act of Parliament thanks to Peter Dunn. To be fair to us as the hunting public GAC have been so quiet that I had forgotten about them until 'Chalkeye' posted a link, BUT behind the scenes they have been doing plenty. Please have a read up 'Ethos' I would like to know what you think of GAC.
