Yeah culling jobs are getting more common even up here the neighbours had a chopper in and cleaned up a couple hundred.
I think before the finger gets pointed at farmers for not letting people we need to look at the forest parks the Ruahines are absolutely crawling with deer that are coming out onto the farms.
The recreational hunters simply arnt shooting enough animals.
