I might add that I've heard there's a few deer on the Kawhia / Aotea side but I don't have any proof of that, and that's probably around the farm edges if so. I have spent around 700+ hours working in there though, between Kaniwhaniwha, Bell Track, and everywhere south /south east and I've only ever seen 1 red deer (with the exception of the released deer mentioned in previous thread). There are goats, seem to be a few coming back, I shot a half dozen a couple of months ago while doing some work around the plateau area off Bell Track.

Thanks Joel.

There is a current alert that DOC are culling goats, so the few that are coming back probably won't be for long.
