Thread: DOC hit their target of 10,000 tahr.

On the news tonight and ahead of schedule.

havent seen anything yet......

Well then they can bloody well stop now





We really need an “As if emoji”!

Caught the end of it on 3 news

just been on....nothing drastic said etc etc...I did notice they showed thar being pursued but didnt shot any being shot....cant be upsetting the public with reality now.

What a shame.

They were using evil shotguns? Not the evil military styled killing machines?

I wonder what the cost to the tax payer has been so far.

I’m sure it’s less than one day on the steal back

3 good men....priceless and cant be replaced....
1 helicoptor??? $500,000
at 2 rounds per animal 20,000 rounds at about $0.50 per so $10,000
avgas /helicoptor hire ??? 100 animals per hour = 100 hours??? at what ??? $800 per hr??? $80,000

wages of guys doing the shooting and number crunchers in orifaces 6 months so $30,000 each x ??6 people $180,000

so somewhere around 300,000 without taking helicoptor into account so $30 per animal????

Maybe but maybe not,could be old footage of the late Paul Hondy he favoured a shot gun with buck shot.
Cant believe what the box shows anymore eh?

Well at oeast the kea numbers should jump up a little... until the next green rain

How exactly have 10,000 kills been counted? How many were wounded, and how carefully were they counted. I’m betting the true figures are higher.

Helicopter was not DOC property, nor was pilot DOC employee, so they don't carry cost of that.

As for the wasted meat... well, we're rich, we've got loads of food in NZ and so we can just leave it to rot.
