Deer numbers are really getting out of hand, our Neighbours shot 250 deer in last month all from from the Ruahines.
People Need to shoot more deer, I don't like waste but numbers are to high and Im happy to shoot and Scoot as I think it's better than the alternatives...

I work in the Ag business and we have a few customers up the Pohangina and Kawhatau (western Ruahine) that were shooting similar numbers of deer, they are being thrown into a gorge at the back of the farm.
Cropping time is fast approaching and the deer will be out in force again and the hired guns will be back, thermals will play a massive part.
