Thread: NZ vs USA hunting style

Hunting on stewart island, my modus operandi is more american (dare i say it) walk 10-20mins find a good spot over a clearing or good feed with nice visability usually under 200m. Wait for dark then walk home or pull out the maxtorch if in private land and the freezer is empty

The second element is relating to the game animals being native to america vs 'introduced pest which needs removing as it dmages the native fauna.....'

Yeah I understand that all game animals in NZ are introduced - and some would like to see them removed entirely... Especially Sage and her lot.
I (and I'm sure most here) would love to see some numbers increase, and perhaps a management plan that worked more on quality improvement as well wouldn't go astray (Wapiti have this in place I believe). Just food for thought. I'd like to see White tails in the North Island myself
