Thread: For all the farmers complaining about deer, goats and other pests

Maybe this is a bit cheeky but I think about anyone on this forum will offer this service haha.

So basically private land hunting as you keep meat and fur.

And then you charge the farmers. . .

I haven't had time to touch a gun in 4 months apart from euthanising stock. It will be a worthwhile service for some farmers.

That is true, difference for us is that we have references available which may or may not aid in comforting a landowner that we aren't a bunch of fckwits, and we do search and destroy (or recover) not leave a few for next time.

We don't charge anything.

Thats my thinking, most people whether you are door knocking or posting online (we do both) will not want or need you to shoot animals on their land, but you only need 2 or 3 places to want you to come on to get very busy very quickly for a period of time.

Well if you need a hand in future @Phil_H I would be most happy to come down for a drive and help out .
Rather 4hrs driving to a spot with animals than a 4 hr walk into DOC with no success .... which is situation pretty normal for us (unless goats count)

Then with newborn lambs being eaten farmers suddenly think they are facing
“The Four Horsemen and the Apocalypse” and want immediate action. Thank the lord I am giving up work soon and can put more time into it....

Cheers

Congrats on giving up work, which I can recommend, but you will need more freezers.

Good on you @NewbieZAR for setting yourself up anyways. If you ever need to expand your team, happy to come for an interview 😋

Hunting HQ from Christchurch is actively looking for farms at the moment ourselves and all the neighbors have been rung this week.

It would probably be best not to mention that if applying for a pest eradication position 🙂🙂😜

It does to be fair say 'no cost to you' implying no charge to farmers. But I agree everyone here would happily offer this service and probably even split the meat lol
