    Perhaps by encouraging forestry and agriculture to welcome recreational hunting and improve access???

    yes a soultion that benefits all -controls pest levels ,doesnt cost farmers an arm and a leg ,less work for politicians .Not more whining academics .overall an application of good old fashioned commonsense .mind you we as hunters must also step up to the mark "use it dont abuse it "tell people what you want and how youllgo about it .lack of simple communication is one of the biggest pitfalls.

    It's worth considering what might happen if that isn't enough

    Yes. Recreational hunters don't have a snowball's chance of controlling numbers now. The Game Council will have a role to play in an integrated approach. NZDA too.

    - A management approach using recreational hunters in targeted areas (the RHA's are an example of this not working up to now).

    - A management approach using pro cullers and aerial selective culling in targeted areas

    - A straight ground and aerial gunship culling approach in targeted areas.

    - It might even mean subsidising private land owners adjacent to the DOC estate and other high population areas to get them to participate in aerial/pro culling.

    you know something????
    that is so bloody easy to fix its not funny
    its dead simple in fact.
    yo uwant them gone??? you want them controlled?? right open your bloody gates and let people access them OR we will charge you to do it via less palitable means.
    the airborne control via shooting has so many advantages in these modern times at thier disposal,the deer/pigs wont last if the $$$ are put in to put birds in the air....there was whinging on TV in last 48 hours from southland about animal numbers again...
    agree 100%tahr we need to give them a chance to do something...

    I work in forestry, but wonder why animal pests to our business are any more someone elses problem than the insects that might challenge hort crops, for example?

    For years we have had to deal with goats coing over boundary from adjoining PCL, and DoC eithera rent interested or unable too fund control on that land ..... why is it now different 'cos its deer?

    In my observation most of the grizzling is coming for those engaged in new forestry planting so they had the opportunity to assess the challenges associated with the subject lands prior to acquisition?
