I expect it will be all travel.

No doubt there will be some who try. But it won't really help the current situation much...

Probably take a couple of idiots being made an example of to get people to understand the rules a bit more clearly. I'd rather be at home with loved ones than sitting in a police jail cell or locked up in an army camp with 50 other numpties...

I popped into a certain well known firearm chain store this afternoon on my way doing some errands. Car park was full, all the tills were manned - they had to prevent people from coming into the shop. Ammunition, shotguns, air rifles, gas powered BB guns, it was all flying out the store. The atmosphere was civil but the sense of fear was palpable.

Locals closed the road up the east coast in the weekend and were looking at closing it at tolaga bay up

I would like to sneak off hunting too, but we can't loose sight of the fact that actually avoiding CV19 is the most important priority we have. What ever we do, think that someone with CV might have touched that, breathed, coughed here. That person there might have it etc. Don't breath it in, don't tough a contaminated surface and then touch the face.

Well spotted.

Like others on here i'm sure, I had 9 days booked in sth westland for the roar, work leave etc, out the window now, thats for sure! I see Helisika have shut down for the next 4 weeks, so totally missing their busiest time of the year - good on them for being responsible, doing the right thing. I, like others am keen to do a solo hunt in the North Island somewhere, fly camping of course, but this will be totally dependent on advice of MoH and ability to move between regions. As keen as I am, I don't want to be taking risks or be putting my own temporary 'wants' against the needs of the nation at this time. I just hope we can get clear of this situation ASAP and back into it! All the best team, stay safe and be positive!!!

Missing the roar or even open day when duck season starts is now low priority. Just wait until you have to wait in line all day to do shopping as stores will restrict entry to 10 inside at a time will still be a low priority when the virus spreads and the deaths begin. So much for putting those down who prepared for the lockdown a week or two ago.

Wapati blocks are closing, nephews are in Lake Katherine at moment but Southern lakes wants to get them out on Wednesday otherwise they risk being in isolation in the South Island for at least a month.

Yeap, just read that you will be expected to stay local when leaving the house.

I would expect that, because as the infection rates fall certain regions will have level 4 lifted before others.

Auckland will probably be locked down the longest.

The failed and in the process of being booted out Police "Top Knob " has already stated on national TV that that " is on the table.".

Hmmm I can see the mountains from my front deck and if I let off a round from my rifle it would probably reach so I'm assuming that is local enough. Only problem I have is I would still need to drive past both the local cops houses as one is a near neighbour and the other is only 2km down the road.

Ministry of Health says ''We encourage everyone to get outside for exercise and fresh air. That's (hunting) fine to do as long as you feel well and maintain your physical distance from others.''

Time to stock up!!
