    hook bush...down in waimate area..the main access track up onto open area(the only area you can effectively hunt) is surrounded by gorse..what the twigs n twitter brigade continue to spout as a nursery plant..if you get in among it ,well you may well end up crying for mummy,but other than that its no nursey at all.....bloddy hard work to get through and its only by continueing effort over last 30 years that track is still there at all...it WAS a clear bulldozed track,there is another bulldozed track up off private land,30 years ago you could have driven up it...now you struggle to find it even when cross it...about 15 years ago someone,somehow sprayed the track....IF DOC would allow a helicopter to do one single spray width up track every 3-5 years the access would be simple and easy,the area would see more visitors and the greenery would continue to grow unharmed.... DOC will not maintain this track,believe me I have asked/begged many times over the years.there used to be benched track up through tussocks,easy grade..I went up with my kids and we marked it with strips of plastic bags,stayed well used for 2 years till some do gooder took them all away.now you cant find it either. so people struggle up ridge getting poked like a pin cushion from the spanyards hiding in tussocks. short sightedness will stuff the back country access sooner or later.

    I've given up trying to get a small game permit from DoC, every year for the past 3 years I have phoned them for one for the Rakaia and Rangitata area. The guy on the end of the phone was next to bloody useless!.....well actually worse than that. His final words were that DoC did not have any areas in the upper Rakaia or upper Rangitata that had any small game or geese to hunt. Go figure! I do go through the 15+ minute long phone process of getting a game bird permit though. We never use to have a problem when we phoned the local district office, but now that its been centralised its all turned to shit.

    thats WHY I went in and saw the lovely ladies in Geraldine office and organised small game permit in person..she still had to do it online,but it arrived within day or two..actually went in the other day re possum trapping...it appears that now that is done on similar permit and no longer block specific.

    Hahaha, I can go better on that @Micky Duck, last one I got the lady said she didn't know how to do it properly yet (trainee) so delivered it to my letterbox later that afternoon.

    ask to speak to the man who knows what hes talking about[


    Ask to speak to the woman who holds the whole place together - there is one in most organisations

    She's always underpaid and usually overweight and drinks a lot of Diet Coke

    Put a tiny bit of sunshine into her world and watch everything roll out smoothly...

    There was one cause a ruckus up here in the Able Tazzy a few years ago Ryan. All the companies are on board now and they are actually really strict on it.

    Definitely will need a permit if you want to put one in the Able tazzy skys.

    Yeah, heaps of people using them without permits.

    Better off without em imo, they are noisy obnoxious things, back country feels a bit less like the back country with one of them flying around.

    Makes life a bit harder for the small time YouTuber I spose, but thats the trade off to keeping wild places wild.
