Good to see the comments were in favour of it they wanna try dropping in to a big hunting comp then

Yes a good response by the people who felt there wasn't an issue with it, to much PC bullshit these days so this was nice to see.

Thanks for posting that @outdoorlad the last comment in the article really sums it up for me

Nothing unusual about that down here. Heres a wedding car in invercargill

Wonder if they also complained about the Tahr left to rot on the hills?

Nah, ‘out of sight - out of mind’ for the Karen’s of both genders. ( there are only TWO genders eh!)

Welcome to NZ.

Yes, too many Karens in NZ.

Though it brings to mind, a question I've been wondering about.

Please understand my hunting days, were few and long ago and I like to bow and arrow, rabbits now.

Q: Why do I see skins of pigs, hung on fences all around?

I don't mind them, I just don't know why they are there.

Is it "look at my macho"?

Does it keep other pigs out of the pasture , therefore protecting the field?

Some other reason?

The deer on the boot of the wedding car is a bit of a concern...is that the bride, FFS?

I think it is an offering to appease the gods, since I've heard marriage is usually a family affair down that way I think, and kin wedding kin angrys up the spaghetti monsters

Regarding rabbit carcasses being hung on fences, I've never understood that myself. The reasons people have given me for their actions vary between "leaving it as a warning to other rabbits" to "leaving it there to encourage the hawks to come this way". I don't subscribe to any of the theories because rabbits are never going to be scared off by seeing a brother hanging on a deer fence, mustelids are unlikely to climb a fence to feed off the remains and nor will a wild cat when there are easier pickings all around them. Hawks can see dead rabbits on the ground from hundreds of meters away without having to hang them on the fence and given rabbits aren't in the habit of climbing fences to die its an unnatural place for them to be, therefore it's more likely to have the opposite effect of an attractor.

Each to their own, I guess.

I can remember as a kid going with my dad to visit a rabbiter. He was full time employed on a large farm and lived in a small shack out the back of the farm.
He hung all his kill on the fences. I think it may have been a way of showing that he was doing his job to his cocky employer. Certainly not showing off which most of these modern displays (parades) would appear to be.

Seen rabbit board guys do it as well.

Back in the bunny board days we did hang a few now and again,,,only on the fence of a person who was a moaning prick and always on about how many bunnies we'd missed lol.
