Thanks for that article, link here https://www.nzherald.co.nz/hawkes-ba...RYJD5A43IHEQE/
I know Garth from the days when he was on the HBRC Land Management. What he's saying makes sense to me, the deer do a heap of damage, and big mobs are increasingly being seen. One of the HBRC biosecurity guys showed me a picture he'd taken of well over 100 reds in one mob on a farm near Tutira. I have not yet seen more than 20 at a time at my place, but 5 years ago there were none. What specific part of Garths article makes you class him as a moron?

I always wonder why these landowners contact NZDA so that they can arrange organiser hunts on these properties. It would be an obvious solution.

Who knows, perhaps you are right - perhaps you are wrong. Maybe someone else can comment on your question for you.

Who knows what's lurking out there in the NZ bushes at the present time?

To those that like Red deer photos....

Attachment 189299

Another clearing not far away from the previous photos, more Wellington Red deer.

They"ve cleaned out my vege garden again.
