    In fairness do you think choppers are relevant to the Pureoras?

    Also shooting a heap of stags doesn't help with too many deer. Also choppers have hardly been working for 2 years. I dislike choppers as much as the next mainlander but they aren't really a current concern (except obviously they impact they have had from earlier on the number of mature stags).

    Shooting poor stags does pureoras isn't the only place stags get shot plenty in the mainland to oxfords taken a good hammering from me over the years mt Thomas the Lewis not young animals just shit animals . Choppers might not be relevant to pureoras as far as aerial culls but I'm sure poison can still be flicked around? I'd made the decision not to take a stag this roar but maybe I should maybe 6 fallow kick em all in a gorge feed the eels what ever spins the wheels

    That 'small guy' looks to have been an exceptional spiker and not a poor 2yr old.
