Was it PT?
If there rooting the ground then I feel sorry for the worms
As for cows burning up on re-entry this must be why we have green House gases
It’s all coming together now all because some cock couldn’t stay on his side of the fence where Bruce Lee deer kung fu
It's all fun and games till Darthvader comes along
I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.
Are you saying @Moa Hunter that the way I shoot at 200 metres, it would be better if they were stuck in a box?! Sounds like I'd better come up for some more practice!
Loving the hard-case responses to this article, but it's a bit of a worry what some people read into the news
and illsecond rushys motion (as long as it aint a wet one).seriously this port hills thing .iwas approached a while ago by a sheila at work (didnt know her from Adam)who asked if i could shoot a deer for her !
seems the family have a lifestyle block out Tai _Tapu somewhere and had recently had problems with a particularly belligerent red stag whod taken a liking to their vege crop but a distinct dislike to the families kingcharles spaniel who was sent in to "chase the deer away!"(oh dearie me thinks me struggling to keep a straight face at that image).seems this stroppy bugger dined royally for a week or more before a "farming" friend of theirs converted him into freezer product-strangley enough this sheila was vegetarian so dunno who got the deer. Idid not ask about the actions of the farming friend _Ido not want to know -but me -no i wouldnt -to me using a centerfire in a urban area -NUP
I have from time to time heard of more like this though further out little river way.
wild game on the port hills -yupand guess what else is looming as a major problem for the CCC and E-Can-bloody canada geese an absolute infestation of the bastrds in the avon ,esturay ,and over in the wildlands formerly QE2 area.wonder which munchkin is gonna get the job of solving that !
The deer and pigs swam / washed down the Selwyn river in flood to lake Ellesmere along with Fallow deer, all from Selwyn plantation Board land up by 13 mile bush. Then they followed the Halswell river to the foot of the port hills. Nothing to do with hunters
The Peacocks were released by a woman who makes hats for NZ trotting Cup at Addington Raceway. Again nothing to do with hunters
Not exactly the city part of Port Hills but there plenty of pig rooting evidence on tops above Little River
There have been a few pigs up the top near Gebbies Pass some years back and all that would needed is exclusion of honest hunters for them to build up. The article does mention the past populations. No need for any new release.
I dont know much about controlling pig numbers but a start might be to facilitate permitting of hunting with dogs in the private farmland, plantation and small areas of reserves so a trusted team could range wherever the pigs are on the day.
Fallow and goats are probably easier to control ( never heard of goats in that area) and again probably what's needed is permission for a a contractor to cover the area without boundaries which might be what the informant had in mind that they'd get the job.
The photo under the Bush isn't pig damage. Unlikely for deer to build up to such levels close to town either (and falllow live on grass) so probably what they really need is a stock proof fence.
