Mark-Up Day for mai mai sites has been brought forward a week because Easter falls early this year. Hunters who held a mai mai last season can reclaim it before 10am by purchasing a licence and attaching the tag. On public land mai mai must be occupied before 7.30am or become available to others. The 90-metre rule applies between sites and landowner permission is required. Mark-up rules apply equally to private and public land, landowner permission is required to hunt on any land and without permission, mark-up rules are irrelevant.
