Thread: Deer on the side of the road

There's a paddock just before it and we've found gutbags and heads laying in there several times where they've been shot from the road and we find ute tracks through the grass on a regular basis. There's been a pile of piglets all torn up by dogs left there and several early velvet bucks heads left hanging on the fence last year too, I probably should have just left it alone but since I put that post up it's like a fun game for whoever it is that does it

A mate experienced that on his farm up the back of Taranaki. Put out nailed boards. They came back and did quite a bit of damage to property and killing stock. Not deterred he put out boards everywhere. He located them stuck one night and they had a chat with his brother and a batten. He watched with a crow bar so they could not run away. This was in 1989. No one travels up his dead end road anymore.

I met a bloke who had a boy racer problem on his quiet deadend road - he hammered in half length warratahs on an angle sticking out of the road about 300mm - boy racers got their sumps ripped out on their cars when they came through that night
Used his lifting tool to jack them out the next morning, quite a bit of oil about..
