Had this happen back in the late 1980's not sure if the rangers still walk around with shotguns these days.
Was a dispute bad eggs between Dad and the next doors pond. Which lead to a ranger coming to check out our licenses. We where all good. But Dad did say to him not to come back onto his land with a firearm as it was agrivated tresspass! We never saw him again.
Our pond backed onto the Waihou river so he walked up the Queens Chain. One and only time that Ive seen a ranger. But then we did shoot with my Uncle who was a fish ranger in the BOP.

Who was your Uncle ? He may of checked me whilst fishing or hunting. I may know of or remember him. Most of the guys I have met are bloody good and fair, if they don't come up to F/G expectations, they don't last long. I was talking to their compliance guy and was very surprised at how few Rangers (honary) ones they actually have because of the strict criteria that has to be met.
