Thread: Current South Island WARO Activity

@Jake77 there were about 40 deer shot out of the Kowhai Hutton shearwater area pre roar. But I should point out that area is off limits to the public so no real lose. They didn't shoot animals outside the area but observed a few pockets of animals in the surrounding area.

Good effort getting into that country, it can be fairly limiting in regards to how rugged it is. Especially the Hapuku side.

Yeah I saw a chewed up shearwater - we were still a couple of kms out from the reserve boundary. Can't see many rec hunters venturing up that way and some of the slopes in the catchment towards where the birds nest looked too steep to be able to recover the deer from so heli culls would be the only way to keep numbers down.
