Thread: Tahr Hunting Ballots 2020, Where we going to be at??

Ladies and Gents

With public land hunting on the horizon my attention is drawn to the Ballot we drew for the Landsborough - Adams Wilderness area.
I also acknowledge the many others that do also as well as Aussies that can no longer get here.
Whats going to become of this years Ballots. So far silence from DoC. Guys at Fox Franz havent been able to get any info either, so same boat for them.

Do they only run the Ballots Period 4-8?

Do they run all 8 periods starting from where period 4 would have started (16th May) and carry them on from there. That would mean that period 8 would start on 11th July.
Would the Rut be well over by then? I know it would be pretty harsh weather wise mid July in the Landsborough.

What happens to the first four, or possibly five, periods ballot holders? Transfer to next year? Or cancelled with refund of Ballot fee?

Ive already missed out on Haast roar Block Ballot, 1st period. We were almost going to board the ferry before we pulled pin. As it turns out we would've only had 2 days there if we did go.

What are your thoughts on this?
Id like to know. Has it affected you?

Cheers
