Thread: Reds out of control!

The back of the old mans farm is getting a bit silly. Might have to go for a visit this weekend

Might pay to Let them build up a bit so you don’t knock the population back too much

I might have to come with you......

Good spot for the next forum trip

Should have a forum bomb up with meat trucks to follow.

yeah needs closing up for another couple of years numbers bit low makes the sixty in a back paddock we saw back of Ruakituri in about 1972 look average

Be easy for yr dad to start deer farming.

You are joking. Joe Collins or Joe Keeley used to hound that area. Hunted there in the ealy*90's. Big animals.

That's the plan

Seen similar videos from South Wairarapa.

Yes I dont think they lasted long was next door to Francy Smiths place - me old mate Ken Lambert had the freezer at Tuai and a regular machine based there they would have got them be interested what that bush edge from Tuai to the Waipoa back of Francys old place holds in animals now be a few I dont doubt Woodgreen had quite a population back in those days to

Shit, that’s a lot of grass disappearing into the scrub.

dont shoot the breeding hinds.
serious though that's pretty standard on a lot of farms that border doc that's hard to access.i see mobs like that often on the tararuas eastern side.

back in 90,s we aerially shot 3 sheep stations back of Gisborne for goats Waimaha Huia and Papuni in two days we took 3500 goats of the I quess 10,000 acres - the Waimaha manager joked he could run an extra 500 ewes - I thought even a few more - so yes mob of reds like that be chewing some good grass every night imagine if one put a crop in - likely would not even get established
