so they need a livein/on game keeper to keep posum numbers down to near zero...rabbits n hares the same.. may as well predator trap at same time,and be there to keep hoons n poachers away..... build them a decent place to live in and a salery enough to top up pension and the forumites will be fighting each other for the job.

the big thing missing with this block - big numbers of fallow and reds say the add- okay have a good look at the photos- where is the feed to support that claim - answer its not there

You'll need more than 1 gamekeeper in that area, fence lines don't mean much

Unfortunately this is true.

About 16 years ago we looked at buying a farm about two valleys over from there. Fertile front paddocks and good deer holding bush at the back. Got really keen until we met a neighbour as we were driving out: said for every 3 animals you put on the truck to the works, one animal will leave the back of the farm on horseback...

No.recipe for disaster.this place does seem priced ok but unless your a bush hunter it won't suit you, not enough clear areas with feed to support numbers and the pines aren't part of the deal, they will be harvested.

For that kind of coin and the hassle of owning land,
It's way cheaper to pay someone for a hunting guide.

Much, much cheaper to get a free DOC hunting permit and go where ever you want to on government land.

How ever, it's all been on here before?

So you spend your 1.5 million from the sale of your expensive house and buy a working sheep and cattle farm with wild deer on it....Nothing wrong with that.
Or you buy your proposed hunting business venture...Then what percentage of business hunting gurus will make it financially viable ?

Youd be surprised, We have thousands of deer and only 100 odd hecters of grass its amazing how much country like that holds part our place is recently harvested part of has being replanted parts getting logged and parts native very sinilar to that block but larger the deer are still well feed and all the grass is off the driveway
