    No, but it would be sad if people didnt, even if the numbers recorded are but a fraction of the number of bands used...there is an expectation that anyone who is a hunter is going to because of our inherit curiousity in the lives of our gamebirds...

    I still haven't heard back about the last one. Might not have gone through like yours. Got a couple more since then in the same hunt. Now have 4 all up got one last year.

    Still I want to see the information they have gathered. How many years have they been tagging now?

    Heck that's a hell of a journey. Helensville is on south edge of Kaipara.

    This is because duck shooters up and down the country keep them in the air without actually hitting them...by the time it got to Wairoa it would be gun shy and deaf.
    Which is worse, ignorance or apathy...I don't know and don't care.
