    @whanahuia This from Cooch:

    I have been searching through my books for details of the early deer releases in the
    Western Ruahines and found relevant imformation.
    The nearest liberation to Rangiwahia according to Wellington Acclimatisation records was
    beyond Mangaweka at the foot of the Ruahine range probably in the Kawhatau valley in 1908.
    There was two stags and three hinds Waiarapa calves. The Waiarapa herd is of the Windsor
    Park strain so there is the potential for great trophys. The head I saw in the sports shop in Marton was a
    14 pointer said to be the first shot under licence in the Kawhatau valley. I will try to get a lead on where it ended up.
    Maxx, Rangidan and whanahuia like this.
    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.
