    West Coast Thar Ballot.

    4th year in a row I have personally missed out on the ballot. Got my letter this morning.
    The system is fucked.
    Still have a couple mates that have not heard yet. Still may get a second chance.

    Especially from Kiwis.

    +1, look how many years it took to get our apples sold over there! It's not too much to ask that we get first crack at hunting "our" land.
    Shut up, get out & start pushing!

    We have several ballots such as RIDGE roar and Hog Deer ballot, kiwis can and do apply.

    Just stop fucking whining, you guys have some of the best hunting in the world 24/7 and if someone wants to come across from another country for a week to have a crack why not let them. Someone shouldnt not be allowed to hunt something because they live in another place.
    A part of me wishes that only Victorian's could enter the hog deer ballot let alone other states or internationals but that would be hypocritical because I do believe anyone should be allowed to hunt any animal without having to pay huge dollars so I don't complain.

    And whats the difference anyway, if I got a spot in the ballot this year you'd hate on me, but if the missus and I moved over end of the year and I got it next year that'd be fine?

    I know a lot of cunts of Australian's I'd rather see get a hog deer ballot spot well after some of the kiwis I know. I don't care where someone is from I'd just rather see a good bloke get a crack over a fuck wit (which didnt happen this year. I know a bloke who got drawn on the hoggies and if he takes one it'll be the first legal deer he's ever shot - would much rather see a good kiwi in that spot)

    West Coast Thar Ballot.

    Because foreign hunters fucking flood the ballot preventing kiwis like me a fair go. Fuck!! How many times do I have to say it?

    It is also peak trophy season in those areas.
    Where can I have a better than 50% chance of harvesting a trophy on public land in Australia?
    Foreigners should have to pay more than 20 bucks to prevent me a chance at hunting where I fucking live.
    Whining maybe. I don't really care what it sounds like to you because you don't factor in or in any way contribute to my ties, to my back country.
    Again, I also don't give a flying fuck what I can and can't do where, I will never go.

    Have a think about it. How would you like to miss out every year for 4-5 years to a kiwi or the like hunting your favourite spots?
    Quite happy for that to happen are ya? Bullshit!!!

    Foreign hunters who do not contribute to our (NZ) resource via trophy fee, hunting permit or other tax kinda takes the piss out of the egalitarian ideal NZ was created in.
    Freedom for all, to pursue all pursuits, regardless of rank, class or caste is a kiwi birthright not an auction.

    Why is the area balloted anyway? Too much pressure?

    At a guess, sounds like it'll be crawling with Awestruckinfailians, balloted or not...
    10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.

    I shoulda been a fisherman cause I always get bites...

    How would I like to miss out 4 out of 5 years on the ballot? I've been in the hog deer ballot here for the last 10 years and have never been drawn, some blokes go their whole lives without being drawn. Odds are equal no matter who you are or where you're from. You dont have to contribute anything to my state or country to have equal rights to have a crack for them as I do.
    You cant use your example and then say you dont give a fuck about mine, they're exactly the same, the only difference being it is a lot easier still to draw a tahr spot.

    I'm sure you've shot plenty of big tahr, but you're right fuck the poor cunts from overseas that's never even seen one. I'll probably never get a chance to shoot one Hoggie in my lifetime, but I'm not whining about it, yeh it pisses me off but its just how it is so you deal with it.

    Exactly!

    FFS god help anyone trying to look after their interests on here.

    Doc will receive a submission about how they deal with the Haast roar ballot and thar ballot soon. Some great ideas from hunters that will hopefully see it sorted for the better in the future.

    I just found out I am sorted for a block anyway. Sweet!!!

    Must be a day for coinkidinks, that bloke I just mentioned who hasn't legally shot a deer just this morning shot a hog deer stag. Turns out spotlighting on property you dont have access too, jumping fences shooting deer and lopping heads and cutting farmers fences to get through to deer country does pay off! Would have much rather seen you @R93 sitting behind that stag than that cumstain regardless of what country he's from

    If your lucky I may have a block sorted for Abe as well. I mentioned that no Aussies or North islanders are allowed but he never listens to me anyway.
