    In line with flyblowns original post, the result of a mornings shoot on a wanganui farm, by the end of the weekend we had recovered 13 of 22 deer shot, also 3 pigs( recovered) and 4 goats plus a few possums( left).
    Yes the deer are small, a mix of yearlings and fawns, 50/50 male and female but they need to go as the trees planted last year have been taking a thrashing.
    The place has regularly been shot by others but there are still significant numbers around that need reducing.
    The mindset needed to shoot the "young unns" certainly is different.
