Thanks for that article, link here https://www.nzherald.co.nz/hawkes-ba...RYJD5A43IHEQE/
I know Garth from the days when he was on the HBRC Land Management. What he's saying makes sense to me, the deer do a heap of damage, and big mobs are increasingly being seen. One of the HBRC biosecurity guys showed me a picture he'd taken of well over 100 reds in one mob on a farm near Tutira. I have not yet seen more than 20 at a time at my place, but 5 years ago there were none. What specific part of Garths article makes you class him as a moron?

I always wonder why these landowners contact NZDA so that they can arrange organiser hunts on these properties. It would be an obvious solution.
