Apparently a no no unless you have a concession according to the Doc website. Surely all these youtube hunters and bus loads of tourists don't all have a concession to fly/video using drones?

Experience. What you get just after you needed it.
woop woop, it's the sound of the [fun] police....
The NZ Hunter crew apparently have a concession for their drones for use on public land according to Willy when we spoke a couple of years ago. They had to keep renewing it. Just keeping to the rules of engagement.
I thought the rules were to have a permit to fly over any doc administered land and a concession if you were using it for commercial gain. ( As nzhunter would be)
Did some research. There's a lot to do if you follow the rules. $74.75 for each area applied for as well.

i think it one of those things where you do need a permit, but also doc don't bother to enforce it. kind of like hunting on doc land with a shotgun (like many pighunters do) or cutting down trees for firewood ,cutting tracks ,sleeping in paid huts without a ticket . all are illegal, but all gets done by so many people that they dont bother enforcing
If you can't kill it with bullets, dont f*ck with it.
That's what happens when there are too many rules around somthing. People either dont know, or end up going the other way out of fustration and to be honest, I don't blame them.

I would not push ones luck with some of those- my time in DOC we did prosecute successfully for cutting tracks - cutting down standing green native ( dead on ground okay for firewood ) not all DOC staff are warranted Officers under Conservation act in fact few are - you will strike the wrong one one day and then depends on judge on day what happens - so be careful a warranted Officer under Conservation Act can - stop search seize and commence a prosecution
In approx fifty years of hunting on doc land, I have never come across a doc worker in the field.
Overkill is still dead.
so cutting a track.....you are keeping access way open..thats a health and safety issue...good luck trying that one in court.
shotgun on DOC controlled land....also have small game permit....thats that base covered
dog in non dog area..thats a curly one..if no kiwi in area and dog is under control..eg indicator dog not free roaming...well its a non issue
was told by DOC staff in Timaru nzda meeting years back they cannot stop tramper with dogs...... so bit of double standard,quickly put on my dark sunnies and let dog lead me LOL...maybe dog is my emotional support animal..... but I also havent ever seen DOC worker in the field in 40 years of hunting...seen them on trap lines or weed control around edges or road sides but never actually out in block...oh hang on,yes we ran into 3 guys in wainakarua 30 years ago.we were having snooze in tussocks and old misty dog saw them coming and barked up a storm LOL.
75/15/10 black powder matters
the track one that really rings a bell was a dairy farmer from Taranaki - keen tramper decided to cut a new track up onto pouakais in ENP - so was very busy with scrub bar when caught - the tree cutting- a group of hunters had cut down about 6 kanuka and built a camp with table etc -not small kanuka about 20 feet high and 6-8 inches thru -just did not see them as native -light trimming on a track in different ball game -especially stinging nettle
