    We are also rural and would consider the area quite quiet. SH2 is 1.7km away as the crow flies and we are well shielded by hills. But at 8 a.m. this morning I couldn’t believe how silent it was, don’t think I’d ever registered just how much ambient noise there is here.

    However we are also on the Auckland to Tauranga flight path, and was quite surprised at the amount of air traffic earlier today, quite a few helicopters and light aircraft.

    We did have the cop car go by earlier though, down to the campsite at the end of the road. Just checking I guess.

Some I have permission to roam on, some I haven't, others I haven't asked. But in truth I can't complain.
    30 to 50 ks of open tussock though, would really get my motor revving.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Anyone have more clarity on pods? I believe a household is a pod and you can go out with your pod members but cannot cross contaminate. HOWEVER, a solo person may join a pod. DOn;t quote me on that, I read something about it and now can't find it. Help required. Also I really want to go out and hunt.. anyone braved this yet?

    The message is very loud and clear that hunting is not permitted. But apparently that hasn’t got through to you. Hopefully it has now.

    Only those fortunate enough to own and reside on a substantial chunk of rural real estate will be getting any hunting done in the next 4 weeks.

    I guess if you do you are then stuck with that pod for the duration, anything else is just a disease liability.

    The messages are loud and contradictory, which is why so many people don't know what they are and aren't allowed to do. Because apparently even the people making the rules don't know.

    If you’ve got any evidence to suggest that it’s a sensible idea and a permitted activity to drive for 2 hours so that I can go for a hunt in the Kaimanawas, I’m all ears
