    Sometimes you have to take a long view on matters like this and stop protecting short-term sport interests. I can take you to places in the central north island where you can walk all day and barely touch a branch in the understory of regenerative native. It’s fucked.

    A balanced perspective is required.
    I'm generally pretty busy, and suspect you are too? Given that, I expect it'll be difficult to find a mutually suitable time for us to go for this walk you're offering. Can I therefore suggest you just pm me a desscription or a map of the problem areas so I can go for a look?

    Thanks

    If it is such a huge problem, and if much more culling is required, then why not post a list of areas publicly? Ordered from most deer to least deer (not for me, I never hunt up north).

    Edit: sorry, this quote was supposed to include the post you replied to.

    Another vote of confidence for ex Minister Kiri Allan from bigoted me.I instinctively dont gravitate to Lesbian Left Wing polys.But I,ve eaten my words and have been so impressed with her no pity Cancer bounce back.Her natural charm.As a first term newbee MP thrust by Jizzy(unusually)straight into a portfolio she made a good fist of it
    Not only was she more pro hunter than any previous DOC minister I can remember,I believe she @ the 11th hour saved whitebaiting as a kiwi right whereas Sage had it heading for the history books.
