I took this pic just off the State Highway about 15-ish years ago.... There were 28 (that I could count) in the mob

Attachment 242179

Without being too specific, roughly where was that pic taken, @bumblefoot?

I was under the impression that the deer population in that part of the country is a relatively recent phenomenon? Certainly didn't see any when kicking around the likes of Aotuhia, Moeroa/Omoana, Waitotara in the 1970's.

very different now Aotuhia scattered pop and low numbers but those other areas heaps especially Waitotara some of Waitotara just to high

@Maxx In respect to the landowner, that's about as specific as I'd like to be. Cheers
