I saw that on the news crack up - I said to the kids time for a holiday :) to the hunt valley sorry the hutt valley
Never knew Wellington had whitetail deer but that’s what the TV showed at the start of the item:wtfsmilie:
We're not usually allowed to hunt around there. Same with the fringes of the Aka's.
Old story, they recycle it every couple of years... must be a slow news day :P
Lots of deer poking their heads into properties in Stokes Valley, Naenae, and Wainuiomata.
Local and regional council have a team of guys dealing with the naughty bambis. Met some guys at the local NZDA range who were busy sighting in thermal units for a job in one of the Welly proper cemeteries...
had the same sort of thing happen here . A young stag was running down the road in a local suburb and the cemetery is a magnet for deer . It backs onto a valley where no hunting is permitted but I believe they now send people in every so often when it becomes overrun in the area .
Just wish they'd call me ..... ;)
Quite common up the Marsden Valley and Ngawhatu now apparently.
i used to get a day permit for the hill between wainui and eastbourne, lots of deer there, also lots of grow plots
Buddy of mine moved to the lower end of Stokes Valley a year or so ago and he sees deer on the road outside his place almost weekly. Saw a video a month or so back of a deer running down the motorway by the Tawa offramp too.
I would expect somebody with a suppressor, subs and night vision would get a few of those deer?
I saw 4 from my deck a few months ago, and had a serious case of itchy trigger finger. However, cool heads prevailed - I quite like having my firearm licence.
Sounds like a bow would be a good option.
