Thread: Spot X Book 4th edition-- out of touch?

Hey guys just out of curiosity i picked up a Spot X book, mostly for the areas than pin pointing the game.
however im wondering how out of touch this might be in the modern day?

as in areas they may say are high with Red Deer or 'have' Red deer in them however in recent times there seems to be report of a Lack of game / sign in those areas?


likely due to numerous reasons an one being poison i assume, since then im sure a bit has been thrown around and been quiet effective on the deers?


areas like around Makarora Wilkins, Young , Lake Wanaka to the West/matukituki Down to Queenstown in Aspiring park the Dart, Rees etc., Lake Hawea the Dingle/ Timaru areas ,
is this Red Country these days or minimal?

Thanks
