If you leave your car outside my farm while you go for a hunt, am I allowed to assume you have abandoned it and it is ok that I start stripping it for parts?

Only if you have a DOC permit for said car

If it has not got a bell around the neck and is more than 500m from an habitation it is feral; at least that is the definition of a feral cat in France :-) which French hunters have pleasure to regulate!

As Neckshot and Dundee will tell ya our cows go waaaaay into the bush, no fence, doc wont help to pay for one......
Yes drop kicks shoot a couple most years......
One day I will catch someone

Thats not even in the same thing...

Brads. Not looking to start a shitfight, but genuinely interested. Why would you look to DOC to help fence YOUR farm ? Do they (govt) have an issue with your cattle going onto DOC land?

Because DOC are supposed to pay half the fencing cost mate...., it's a boundary
$20 a meter 8k of bush edge you do the Maths.
No they don't really have an issue as we want to fence it...........
DOC claim they have no money
The loops do complain when they stand in a shit thow.
It's really only an issue in winter when the cows are hungry.
But they do go a fair way in, seen cows way up the roki.

DOC has a higher obligation to fence Brad's cattle out, than he has to fence them in on account of the Gov being exempt from the Fencing Act.

Fair enough. Town houses share cost of boundary fences so I guess DOC should do the same. Such a shame they dont have any money though......YEAH RIGHT!
Invoice them for every cow you loose to poachers.

You have to take the fucktards to court to get anything from them unless you want some 1080 that's free for all.

How can someone be a poacher if they knock over a mooie in the bush while holding a permit that allows them to?
The reason the mooie is in the bush for the start is there is no fence.
So either the farmer is being negligent in not adequately keeping his stock contained or DOC is negligent for not keeping the farmers stock out of its land ( forgetting pastoral lease on which a permit shouldn't be issued for that area anyway)

As Tahr said - common sense - if it looks like daisy, has a bell or has a ear tag, then prob isn't feral

Isn't this a health and safety issue for those using DOC land, having beasts roaming round, you need to talk with OSH

Standard conditions
This permit only allows ground based non-commercial hunting of deer, pigs, goats, wallabies, chamois or tahr within the timeframe specified as "permit validity period", unless otherwise stated in the Special Conditions


I dont see any mention of cattle in the above, taken from my hunting permit. So I guess that unless you have a special clause, they are off the menu whichever way you look at it. So yeah, poaching.

Read the original post of this thread....

Poaching
noun
1. the illegal practice of trespassing on another's property to hunt or steal game without the landowner's permission.

You are splitting hairs about the use of the word.
Technically you dont have the landowners permission, cos it doesnt say on the permit that you can hunt cattle. Therefore...poaching by your own definition.
