Thread: Hey all you Wellington slackers

what's all this then? Deer running wild in your backyard and you're letting them go?

https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-...oamrT4KuVPlmnU

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

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

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...

Yeah I know it's old news, and an ongoing problem, but also amusing. I mostly posted this for the pure hypocrisy factor, I found fallow deer droppings on my lawn a couple of months ago so I'm hardly in a position to be calling anyone else 'slacker'.

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.

Yep, but they had better work for Greater Wellington Regional Council, or there's a good chance they would be dobbed in.

According to Ivan they've shot 57 so far this year.

Also, can we get your old avatar back? The double amputee cockroach reminds me of Stevodog.
