Success in hunting or bringing home the bacon is really down to access to good grounds
Although today is so so different to the 80's - and really only up till prob last 5 or so years
Had someone said to me back in 80's for eg
"you will be asked in 40 years to go help cull Deer in the Wairarapa as they are starving themselves to death"
I would have though that person was banana's
Like back in 80's if you did not have a farmer mate that had landlocked Doc etc - regular success was only from a very few top bush Hunters
Thermal back then would have made a huge difference
But oh boy - I can imagine the punch ups in the Public Bars a Footy club's etc :-)
My accountant yesterday said his son was looking out the car window with a borrowed Hand Held unit (was cheapie too) on their way up from CHC to Blenheim - he kept saying to Dad "there's 2 - there's another 4 or 5"
Dad said BS cant be - so stopped next time and sure enough boy was right
They counted nearly 25 animals off SH 1
