Cheers in advance

can anyone join in?

You are 'bound' to get someone 'jumping' on this mate It would be ROOed if they didn't

I would start with DOC and the blocks in the hunter hills they usually are well stocked, get a permit and go. Youll no doubt meet a few locals strike up a relationship and get some private land. That worked well for me.

Plenty of blocks you can get on to DOC blocks Hunter Hills can get a bit of a hammering, The Kirklistons long walk through private land. If you PM me I'll see if I can give you a couple of phone numbers on the Hakataramea side

Awesome start cheers will ring doc tomorrow

Cheers guys!!!!!! They should spend the 1080 money on putting a small bounty on them instead of bloody 1080

I'm by no ways an expert on them , but have been shooting a few roos over the last year . Some days you see heaps other days they are there but you don't see them . Personally I find them challenging little buggers . I can totally see why they have to poison ,I'm not a fan on poison but they got no choice. The area I hunt is getting a drop too this winter . Will put a dent in Fallow numbers I'd be thinking to

HaHa! nice.
This is one of my new to do tasks since getting the govt check (oldie).
Need some practice with the new (to me) rifle tho.
Have to study up the Doc land (use of) theme too, finally indulging in shooting after skirting around it all life.
