Im also told that the mobs of deer had to be stalked past to get at big tahr in the Timaru creek area near hawea.... first hand accounts from people who were there at the time.
I recall my family menfolk coming home from hunting the roar in area (central north island)we have hunted for 60 plus years 5 experienced hunters in for two weeks and never saw a thing that wasnt under a whirly bird being carted out.....that area gets hit by big 1080 drop every few years still...animal numbers sure arent excessive .there is at least one other forum member who hunts that area can confirm that.
