    Nope, up and down the valley to refuel several times, no strop on, door off. Saw them spook a deer right in front of me and made no attempt to chase it, saw them spook deer further up and again they weren't interested

    They're not supposed to be doing it till Feb but I'd say they're doing counts.
    They have the contract for that.

    If not counting maybe catching.

    I know they have been doing counts/monitoring recently as the manager of Lillybank has been sitting in the machine with them.

    Alpine normally do a fly through WARO deer shoot up on all the good trophy stag country of the Rakaia and Ashburton DOC and private - pricks. Money brings respectability .....

    @Mathias Can’t be much money in shooting deer at the moment? No one hurt obviously?
