Thread: Maybe need to start shooting everything we see in some areas

nope,but will be bringing home the best 10% of each one LOL....

Creating a live deer trapping Association or club (s)and doing Deer live trapping would be a good solution.

Creating some large , high fenced areas, with water available , so that the animal caught don't suffer of dehydration ( there could also be a bit of food for them )
Using trail cameras linked to the gsm net work so that members of an area are notified when a deer/pig/ goat is caught in the high fenced area.
Two or three guys go to the fence trap in the next few days and dispatch the animals and carry the meat home.( they can check water/ food and reset the trap)
Depending of the area requirements, nice stags can be let out for the coming roar for exemple, and hinds and fawn can be specially targeted.
Same thing with the pigs. Big male boar could be set free while pregnantfemale taken care of.

When two or three members of the club got one deer, the next lot of members from the club can go harvest the next catch .

With a bit of help from Doc that could be a viable system.
The only major problem I foresee would be jealous hunters coming upon the fenced area and cutting holes in the fence and sabotaging the concept.

I have been thinking for a while about it. It would be a good alternative to 1080 and at least not so much wate of good meat.
It would also be an alternative to getmeat for those who are not so physically fit and can't go too far for hunting and to get meet for their whanau.

where would this club set the trap up?Private land?lease,fencing maintenance,organising costs will stop this,also I don't really think guys are gonna be interested in blowing away some animals in a paddock-the hunt is prob the most importantant part of hunting for most hunters.Doc land?don't think so.

The idea would be to do it on public land , in partnership with Doc.
Yes finance and motivated club members would have to be sorted.

I completely agree, it is not hunting, it does not bring the same excitement , it is there to regulate the overpopulated deer numbers and doing it with a reward which is carrying meat out and not letting it to waste.

It a third or fourth alternative to blanket poisoning, waro and lack of hunters to do the job.

deer fenced paddock ajoining forest block with jump in.or swinging gate..works the same way....its the permission to dispatch and remove then reset the trap bit that needs working out.

Exactly. Simply permissions and access.
