public backlash (hunters mostly) nailed tharmeddon as far as im aware and a chopper trip for afew people to shoot 127 hinds instead of improving access to the region like i dont know getting the locked gate over the legal access route taken down so people can
access the region anytime and hunt and harvest all year round not just 1 bomb up and that should keep em happy. Access is key to controlling animal numbers no one is going to walk 20km+ just to shoot a meat animal or not many anyway. Money would be better
spent putting access into some of the spots with higher animal numbers instead we will just do the same shit oh hunters aren't shooting hinds so they breed up causing damage, 1080 drops every few years - rinse and repeat. DOC should own and run helicopters
and shooters and use where needed/necessary while employing 100's or 1000's of trappers, wardens, track cutters, hut builders etc get men back in the hills or even put a tally on deer tails would be better then what they currently do
Doc need alot more in funding to make a change and do something more then the shit they have been doing which isnt working as we are seeing, build tracks, huts, access roads into new regions hire 1000's of kiwis who would love to work outdoors in gods own
making it accessible and habitable(huts, tracks, toilets, campsites)
All you had to do to be in on that well organised cull you quoted was to go to your local nzda meeting. Are you a member?
