Same crowd who got several hundred over in queen charlotte lochmara area. Its regenerating scrub very hard to hunt deer and those seen or shot mainly on peoples front lawns when no one else about. Last time QE2 got cullers in was ground hunters with dogs using a drone with a thermal. Got 9 or so in a week. Plus fair few goats.


Deer doing alot of damage to the bush f all under growth plus they keep eating my mums agapanthus down to stubs and shit all over place.

Just my luck. There from 8th July so the 4th week :-(
I don't have a thermal. Not legal on DOC land anyway (at least not legal the way I read the permit. I know other opinions differ on that)

Just my luck too as I will be there the weekend of the 14th hoping I might have caught one out around the bach's as they seem to come out more in mid-winter. Given that I have never seen a deer in the QE2 let alone shot one, the cullers are going to have a much better chance of getting the numbers down than me!
