Seems a North island wide issue issue at the moment. Everyone is quick to blame farmers who won't let hunters onto land.
Seems everyone wants easy deer and no one wants to walk, I suspect most can't hunt as well as their internet personalities portray.
I've hardly hunted the kawekas so can't offer on opinion, But when a weekend walk in the Ruahines finds you 50 odd deer you realise something is up and it's being getting worse for the last few years.
Hunters are the first to complain when the choppers come in, or 1080 gets dropped, but most won't play any part in game management.
I was reading a story written on here this morning about someone not shooting hinds at this time of year or velvet stags. That's cool but its not helping the population explosion.
Get out there and shoot some deer, or don't moan when Doc does it for you.
