    "Shooting" for velvet is a misinterpretation of what was likely said, it would be absolutely uneconomical. The spring/early summer season is often referred to as "the velvet" probably where the confusion arose. As far as game management goes, I backed the "Save the Thar campaign" - recent hunting on the West Coast revealed Thar in numbers that definitely require control, anyone that thinks otherwise is in cloud cuckoo land, when you can see upwards of 50 animals in 2 days in an area that has been shot over by helicopter it's a bit of an eye-opener. There is a lot of fanaticism regarding helicopters, DOC, 1080 and their effects on game hunting in NZ, if you don't read the BS that a lot write on here and just get out and make the most of the challenges that hunting in our extraordinary wilderness areas presents you'll probably be a lot happier person. If you're not getting results, enjoy the scenery and sharpen up, you can shoot tin cans in your back yard if you want something easy, reliable and unrewarding.
    Just going to take a look around the next bend...
