Thread: Shooting to waste

I had a brief conversation with a local guy this morning, he's running a pest control operation covering 90,000ha of forest. !4 shooters, lots of thermal work, targeting mainly deer and goats. But the thing that really got me was he said the MPI rules are so complex regarding meat that everything they shoot just gets left to rot.

I've heard the same thing in Australia, commercial pest control guys are specifically prevented by law from harvesting meat.

I'm picking there are a lot of pissed off hunters reading this right now, does anyone have more knowledge of this situation across the country, and ideas of what can be done to address the issue?
