Thread: No Fish and Game Day Licences any longer?

They did'nt sell out to DoC; the wildlife act is subsidiary to the conservation Act and the then min of cons sage did the deed. Also took Canada geese from NZF&G as a managed game bird. NZF&G get zero funding from the multimillion DoC coffers and are soley funded by licence sales and mouse poor as a result. IMO they do a good job while under miserable constraints.

The blame for that lies with Federated Farmers. They wanted them removed so farmers could do pest control. Now they are a major issue in a lot of NZ, more than rabbits or possums.
