They took a hammering a couple years ago with poison and are way down in numbers.
Helihunting them is not helping either.

Heard of a group of aussies that shot half a dozen just recently. Nothing of note.
Just had to shoot something.
They should ban all hunting of them for a while if the herd is ever to recover properly imo.

You know, instead of wasting our excess energy as a foum, sometimes bickering, some times on mad projects [ well thats ok really] and sometimes just complaining about shit. [ I certainly am not talking about the above post or the original poster ,just the above post got me thinking]


Why don't we as a collective adopt this Mainland Whitetail herd and see if we can't do something about, firstly it's preservation and secondly it's growth.
Just throwing it out there, bit of brainstorming by people could surely come up with a plan that could see us leading the way to doing something special
There are some pretty smart and savvy people on here and if the rest of us could lend support surely we could achieve something really positive.
Any campain for want of a better word would need led by some one , yes, however the right person backed by a mandate from the folk on here could surely command a fairly loud voice .There are people on here from all walks of life that could and can if they so chose make times tough for those who would oppose such a preservation both privately and in the media.

I know it been done before, helihunting, 1080, etc etc. these though all have there champions, even on here.
However, pick a winner, what is not to like about the preservation of a Whitetail deer herd.

Think, if we could tap into a ground swell of american support, possibilities are massive.
