Plenty of deer around, from a selfish point of view it would be great if stags weren't targeted but that's just a pipedream.

Was in DOC Renwick office yesterday checking up on a few things. They were mildly surprised 70 deer got shot over that area. Their monitoring and local pilot suggests numbers aren’t particularly high for WARO, much easier private land around. Luck on the day I guess.
