I think it is important that we don't get confused about what we are trying to achieve.
I am not fighting conservation or conservationists. I want our forests and waterways protected and our land protected from exploitation.
What I also want is recognition of our game species as a valuable resource to be managed responsibly and be part of that conservation process irrespective of what government or party is in power. The Tahr management plan has been in place since 1992? and no government since then has actively managed or monitored it or, as far as I can see, made any attempt to change the status of our game herds.

Most of us on here likely shear your views I like to think im a conservationist at heart , your last 3 sentences hit the nail on the head , however I don't think iv seen one of our game animals hit the headlines or people being so vocal , generous with there money to go towards achieving the above either so perhaps we haven't been collective enough in our approach in the past to getting game animals recognised for what they are , I don't have time for politics but id give a yearly fee to someone that does.
