Thread: Central otago venison recovery

The West Coast would easily have the most waro pressure in NZ.
Especially my favorite places to hunt.

I can throw my rifle and day bag in the truck and be hunting in the time it takes drink a coffee.

I can count on one hand how many times I have been out for a walk and not at least seen something in the last 10-15years.

It has never been easier but it seems for some, that's not good enough.

5-6000 deer use to come out of the Haast area a year when every bugger was shooting or catching.

When I did most of my time on venison there from 2003-2011 we were getting around 2500 a year.
It was still during all that time, one of the best areas to hunt and was productive for people meat shooting or wanting to get one for the freezer.
Some of the best genuine heads ever shot (350DS class) were taken in the region in the last 20 yrs.
