Thread: Total lock down in 48hours

As a SAR member I don't want to be called out but if it happens I will respond, as a new hunter I want to go out and fill the freezer but I won't.

Hunting permits withdrawn by DOC, maybe they'll find a reason to not reissue, then firearm ownership necessity will diminish.

I've only been hunting for 60+ years. For some strange reason I have not had sar look for me and when I suffered injury I somehow managed to extricate myself. Today I dont think I will create a hazard for myself or anyone if I take a few hours ambling with my dog and rifle in easy country.

Check point on the top of the Kaimais I believe2 pm tomorrow? Permits to travel between BOP and Waikato? Will be arrested if resisting, maybe bull, but good source today??

Molesworth Roar permits are revoked. See below

Dear Hunters

To follow on from our message this morning about hunting in Molesworth Blocks please see the link below for information regarding Closure of DOC huts/camps and outdoor activities.

https://www.doc.govt.nz/news/media-r...close-to-home/


 All Molesworth Hunting Permits have been REVOKED, UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE, due to New Zealand being in a Level 4 Alert (starting tomorrow, Wednesday 25th March 2020).

This includes:

 Travel severely limited
 All people instructed to stay at home unless you work for essential services

 The Molesworth, Acheron Road is still closed due to high fire risk, but with the Level 4 Alert that we are now in and restrictions as above, means we are taking extra measures to restrict people’s movement (as per Government Instruction).

 Please also note – Online Molesworth Hunting Permit Applications are closed until further notice.


We will be in touch by email when hunting in Molesworth resumes.

Noho ora mai,
(stay well/look after yourself)

Kind regards

Think its clear Hunting is a no go for at least 4 weeks. NZDA has stated DONT. GAC has stated DONT. MC has stated dont. DOC has stated dont and now the Government saying stay home.
SAR stating Dont. It sucks but the Roar is cancelled .
So no hunting for me just as my wrist has healed . Lucky have a good full freezer of venison. Good thing is the winter hunting will be good. There be a few more stags floating around.
Just accept the fact people and have some sense. Theres more to life right now than shooting deer etc. And as a bonus nearly every roar someone is shot so prob so relief for some famly members you not going

In the case of extended trips I do agree but for part day trips I see no real harm.

More lives will be saved from less people driving on the roads.

But farmers and private land still can hunt. So SAR still could get a callout.

I could have a accident at work and have a call out. The way it’s coming across to me is that if we go out this Roar we are all going to use LandSAR for a call out. They’re just trying to get hunters to get used to a new set of rules.,,,

I asked my wife the same question about liquor stores. She said that alcoholics are at risk if they dont have access to booze. She worked in addiction services for a few years. I don't think the govt thought about this aspect as they have now told them to close. Maybe a few will turn up at A&E after consuming meths. This is going to be a tough few weks on everyone.
