    I had a brief conversation with a local guy this morning, he's running a pest control operation covering 90,000ha of forest. !4 shooters, lots of thermal work, targeting mainly deer and goats. But...

    The deer issue needs to be regional, not per farm. Last week I found 13 flattened spots in one of my hay paddocks, then again the next morning. So not trusting my shooting abilty to take out 13 reds...
