Enjoy your purist red deer hunting in Hungary, Bulgaria, Croatia, France, Spain, Poland, GDR, Scotland, Turkey, oh bugger, they all have managed wild herds and have for hundreds of years. So the reality of hunting is that it is managing game animals to balance their environment. This is how it has been for hundreds of years.Attachment 112857

Most of those trophies were killed by coursing too. Private or public land, we have reasonable morals here in NZ when it comes to hunting.
