@Barry the hunter I've heard it said that the NZFS culling was actually not keeping the deer population down adequately, and it was the helicopter guys who saved our forests (yes this is from a conservation person, not a hunter). Do you have any comments about this? I was speaking to a HBRC Councillor last week who mentioned seeing hundreds (literally) of red deer around Tutira post-cyclone, the numbers are getting huge in some areas.
