Thread: Fiordland Wapiti Bugle '13 - Bull shot?

Beaut head , i have been down 4 times now and yet to find a trophy to bring home , preferring to video animals .
I have no problem with the head going to a disserving hunter , i would be tempted myself , my problem is those that go down a shoot every animal they see .
I'm sure there will be a report or two this year of such episodes taking place . Justifing your actions because they are Reds doesnt cut it with me , some blocks are just Red dominant because of the geographic location and if Wap's havent made thier presense felt in these areas in the last 108 years then they probabily wont until DOC allow the release or redistribution of animals within the blocks . Shooting every Red because you can is a waste , that 10 could be someones trouphy 12 in a year or two , Reds arent inferior just a different species and we should treat them as potential trophies in these bordering blocks. Fiordland is a special area and shouldnt be treated like a shooting gallery for your holiday. Its not a numbers game .
