    I don't know why this gets people so upset? Business is business. That client is not exploiting this country, it's people or its resources. A few of those stags a year keeps that 'chubby' guides' family fed and warm. Would I? Never. Would I begrudge someone who chooses to pay to shoot on private land? Never.

    If Foreign tourists want to pay to hunt on someones deer farm why should we worry, at least it keeps them off our free DOC land.

    Yeah good on them both, if youd pay for a meat animal (not everyone) why not pay for a trophy if you can afford it. May aswell take advantage of that opportunity (the guide)

    I get stuff all free time at the moment. I was thinking on a guided hunt to save the job of getting to know a patch of public land and monitor it. When I saw the fee's I realised it would be cheaper and the same level of challenge to pay my neighbour for one of his deer and blow it away from the comfort of my own deck. Somehow I just cant bring myself to do this.

    Lot of hate lads....
    I don't really get the whole trophy shooting thing never have and big heads don't float my boat.
    But I can tell ya the smile on the old guys face looked bloody genuine and that makes it all worth it for the guide, record or not.
    As for the the fat guide come on at least he's out there doing it😀

    Ahhh that's where i'm going wrong. Give me a few years it's going.

    If peoples have the money what's the problem? Helps the nz economy, tourism is huge and hunting isn't a small section of our gdp this just combines them. Not my cup of tea and hate the look of those heads, much prefer an even 8-12 that's representative.

    You are dead right, its pure business .
    Worked on a special estate where we had a few high profile clients and on the level where they are playing you have to deliver.
    You can't say that you can not do something else they find someone else who can and you loose out on some serious money.

    Nothing is tough about having a 70 lb bow and looking like an uncoordinated praying mantis while trying to draw it back.
