Used to be chillers all round the South Island with a chiller truck from Hoki picking up once a week. Shoot your deer, deliver to local chiller then get a cheque in the mail a couple of weeks later, not bad money either at times. No chillers now and plenty of deer in all sorts of handy places. Once again beauracry has stuffed it.
Sadly a generation of hunters are growing up with the perception that deer are worthless pests.
