I don't do subtle well at all, so am interested in others views about the Tahr S&D activity they covered. Obviously they weren't in a National park as they had the dog, and it seems they were not wanting to piss off DoC too much (understandable as they need to work with them for concessions etc.) so the control activity was attributed to 'the Government'. They did however identify culled bulls, and near the end commented they had found 11? So did anyone else interpret that stuff as a polite way of calling DoC bullshitters for saying they wouldn't target bulls outside the National Parks?

In addition I enjoyed the subtle dig re the proliferation of Mt Cook Daisy’s despite tahr being in the area.
