Slow going!! I would hate to see how many massive stags you would get when the going is good.
Well done you are a machine.

I don't eat it, give it all away to locals and use the real stinky stuff to the dogs. Its public land mate, ya don't shoot em the choppers or 1080 will get them and there's way too many deer around at the moment

In fairness do you think choppers are relevant to the Pureoras?

Also shooting a heap of stags doesn't help with too many deer. Also choppers have hardly been working for 2 years. I dislike choppers as much as the next mainlander but they aren't really a current concern (except obviously they impact they have had from earlier on the number of mature stags).

Shooting poor stags does pureoras isn't the only place stags get shot plenty in the mainland to oxfords taken a good hammering from me over the years mt Thomas the Lewis not young animals just shit animals . Choppers might not be relevant to pureoras as far as aerial culls but I'm sure poison can still be flicked around? I'd made the decision not to take a stag this roar but maybe I should maybe 6 fallow kick em all in a gorge feed the eels what ever spins the wheels

Um what most of that is unreadable but I'll reply to what I can.

No shit young stags get shot Everywhere I just saw a guy shot 9 stags out of Lewis almost all young (too young to realistically assess quality unless you have a trained eye) and didn't take any meat or shoot any hinds...

Poison isn't used to control deer (I'm 99% certain it's illegal to directly target deer with 1080 (they can be bykill)) so numbers don't lead to poison it happens anyway.

Then your bragging about hammering stags and having a sook and threatening to go waste a bunch of deer and meat because someone brought up their opinion on a public forum. What a bloody ninny. I just brought up my POV. I didnt dictate what anyone can do I have no right too but I have every right to bring up the discussion with which anyone can do with as they wish. Hell I think you may find I openly said he's done more to control population that I have for sure. I just think its nice to leave stags to grow to the point they can mature as it makes a far better trophy (even the ones with poorer genes) that a rack of 50 plus toddlers hanging in the shed unappreciated.

Pretty much met in the middle my point is each to their own as it is yours

And absolutely punctuation missed the bus on that tangent.

That 'small guy' looks to have been an exceptional spiker and not a poor 2yr old.
