Thread: Radio NZ Deer Wars podcast

Been listening to this. Good bit of NZ history well covered from what I have heard so far.

Deer Wars tells the story of the 50 year struggle to control New Zealand's red deer population.

Agree. It’s a ripper of a yarn.
I knew the early cullers had it hard but hearing them talk about it is very sobering.
Looking forward to the rest in the series.
Well done to all involved in making it!

It's on Spotify as well if anyone wants to listen via that

Thanks for posting that. I love hearing about the history of the deer cullers.

Part two of a TVNZ doco on the subject (no idea where part one is).

Yeah just listening to the third episode now.

Absolute epic tales. Some of those folk from that generation were hard as nails.

Good stuff

Much of the audio is the same as the nz on screen doco

And a story is always better with pictures

There’s not that much, binged the 4 episodes this arvo bloody good listen

If that was Deer War 1, we're well into Deer War 2 now.

Crazy numbers in the CNI.

It’s like that in a lot of places now days, would be good if venison market was more stable
