Thread: Northland deer (again)

Tahr is right powers that be see deer free Northland as feasible - with Auckland as a barrier - and Northland forests are seen as unique they are not the same composition as say lower North Island - many contain kauri - - good kiwi populations in areas - a number of iconic species including endemic carnivorous snails- and many tree species not seen south of Auckland - no sorry mate I think any idea of a shootable deer population up there is a pipe dream - in saying that there are more deer around up there than people think - very small populations and some likely not going anywhere - but they are there - but their number is up - the only thing saving them is many will not report where deer are - as hunters we have to face the fact that many twigs and tweeters don't like deer and don't value them like we do
