Has anyone heard of WARO activity increasing throughout South Island. Very little if any in the Ruahines currently, green zones plenty deer about open.

Any reports past activity over past few years would also be helpful, we are heading down SI next year. Hunted North Canterbury green zone March 24, deer on high tops good numbers and behaviour suggested never hunted by helicopter.

The wild venison trade was killed years ago by the bureaucrats with regulations and cost. An era gone to quote Dave Ratcliffe. I acted for a client who owned a venison processing plant. He got out of it for that reason.
