Thread: Balloted/permitted hunting blocks

It doesn’t matter if it’s blue mountains fallow, Stuart island whitetail, chamois or tahr. Some hunters will hunt what they see for meat, the other 10% will maybe look for trophy size and pass up animals. The only way this will change is if you run places like the blue mountains like Fiordland where the hunters know they are going in to search for a trophy not to fill the freezer.

I’m pretty sure the people you see with young bucks on the back of the ute would just as easily have a couple of does or spikers if they had have seen them first.
