Just a reminder , even if the Nats don't win this year, a seat for Act is a seat the useless Green list MPs like Sage can't have.

Note the use of professional ground hunters which are to be used by Doc to help eradicate bulls from the scrub in westland that have become wise to the noise of helicopters.
This is disguised as a helping out the guides that are short of work due to covid impacts on their business

Also note the department will prioritise leaving tahr for recreational hunters in easy accessible areas despite the fact the cull has already obliterated these areas.
Areas such as the Ben Ohau in behind Twizel were the the first to get smashed to bits not once but 3 times since 2018. I was sent a video from a farmer from Twizel, of the chopper back in there shooting this easy country yet again last week.
An area with prolific vegetation, easy hunting access and controlled numbers living sustainably with this environment

@yogi ,Have you followed up with DoC seeking an explanation as to why they were apparently conducting control in an area that was outside the criteria they claimed to be working to?

Not yet as i only received the reply to my letter yesterday, which was sent to PM Ardern and it was forwarded to Sage for comment.
