Yes - just talking to a farmer in Levin this morning
He said bloody Deer are running out of nearly every bush gully on the farm (bush pockets - like less than 1 acre on average)
His father (an ex meat hunter too) has not been gone 2 years and the numbers have built up obviously mainly from transient migration in from the Tararua
So what is your prediction @BRADS
Obviously even with the modern addition of Thermal and Nightvision - recreational hunting is not keeping a lid on it
