Grow partnerships with strategic allies & others eg Nature Conservancy, guides & their clients

how about with the overwhelmingly bigger group of home grown licence holders 1stor are we not worth it in dollar terms.
ps i can find no reference to bryce stating he thought 8 is a good number for a council or any reference to reducing council numbers its not in any posistion statements or minutes??

Adrian McIntyre suggested it be read out to the meeting what the NZ Council
recommendation on the issue was at the last NZ Council meeting.
The recommendation was read out:
1) Ask regional managers to use the 2013 game hunter surveys to establish whether there had
been any significant changes in sub gauge shotgun use since 2009.
SFGC Minutes of the meeting held 13th December 2012.
5
2) Meanwhile retain the sub gauge exemption in the use of lead shot.
3) Convey its concerns to Southland should it propose to go-it-alone and lift the exemption.

He believed some elements within Southland Fish & Game had chosen to run their
own agenda on the issue without reference to those they represent. He said it was a
non-mandated agenda and in cloak and dagger fashion. Back in 2005 Southland
attempted to change this regulation – who did you inform, what opportunity did
licence holders have to imput into that, what was the mandate? Should have been an
election issue.

sound familliar

before you try to rewrite history again mike

Lead shot exemption for sub-gauges – regional feedback
With no clear majority of support for or against and incomplete information to argue in its
favour, it was agreed it makes any change to the status quo questionable. The NZ Council
accepted that 6 regions opposed the Southland proposal to uplift the lead shot exemptions and
that 5 regions supported the proposal.
Resolved (Andrew Morris/Robin Blackmore)
That the NZ Council

From what you reference there is so much bullshit talked (effective shit talk though) it laughable. Honestly people are so gullible. If they just bothered to fact check.....

What most people miss is that obviously HB hunters and anglers had a gut full of how F&G was running and people stepped up genuinely and honestly and due to (_______) from the previous council this is how F&G repaid them. I am heartily disappointed but not in anyway surprised. Smile when you buy your next license- they will be.

Time to let the issue drift into history.

Time to let the issue drift into history.

untill the next time a group encouraged by the inability to do anything concrete about this rears thier heads.

good luck hb your gonna need it.
