    That was helped by the escape x 2 times of WapX from when there was a deer meat works on the Tauranga-Hamilton road near the summit.

    Fair comment, I think it depends where you are. As the other fella says, there was a good dose of WapX in some areas, as evidenced by the ones we used to take off the bush line up on the NE corner on private property from Woodlands Road, mid- to late-noughties. I’ve got a photo somewhere of the last big stag off of there, certainly not a “shit antlers” animal by any stretch.

    Fellas often say “no deer in the north” but this has never been true. Low numbers for the most part, but occasionally the numbers swell. Because we’re a neighbour we get to hear and see a fair bit of what goes on. The ones I watch occasionally over the road from me when out hare shooting are runty as. Personally, looking at the quality of the ones I’ve seen post-drought, I wouldn’t bother. Just recently there’s been a whole bunch of really crappy hinds coming out of a couple of dairy farms off the south side of Waitawheta, they must have had pressure somewhere else and moved, so now they’ve had terminal pressure here.
    Just...say...the...word
