back in the day..the cullers shot 1400 goats off our farm in months before we bought it..similar numbers of all the neighbours..... that put a hell of a big dent in population and it wasnt hard to keep on top of it from then onwards.
that was on foot too.
come the boom year of high goat prices,we saw poaching from the sky.
I agree totally,there will always be farms where some deer and some pigs are wanted,long may it stay that way....but if numbers are that high they causing issues elsewhere,it will need to be addressed....and yes the DOC controlled land is the same...how they manage to get away with rampant gorse is beyond me...its a noxious weed..it should be controlled.
