Thread: The state of pest populations in NZ

I can see in future there will be some rules around deer numbers on private property. While they are paying money for goats numbers will be kept in check where they are able to be mustered. As will the possums' all those easier blocks numbers will say the same only if fur price stays above $100. I believe there are only a couple of full time trappers doing it for a living in gisborne
Gisborne council are no longer doing pest control in the region so means numbers will come back on those farms.
Also we have had mild winters here the last few years and even now the grass is still growing.
