Ok. Here's the "Duley Method" as I understand it.

Step 1: Enter the ballot, like everyone else.

If he draws a block, job done.

If not, onto Step 2.

Step 2: Go to Te Anau anyway, with hunting gear but having not drawn a block (he is usually a guest speaker at the briefing anyway).

Step 3: Speak to Wapiti Foundation organizers and pickup any block whose party failed to turn up to briefing (its compulsory to attend briefing). Many parties fail to show up, once they realise how steep the place is, time off work, money.. or whatever.

Step 4: Quickly gather relevant maps and arrange transport to block.

Step 5: Get accused of "rigging" a ballot that is conducted under police observation.

As told to me by their former cameraman.
