    Rabbits and hares are up a lot in HB, and HBRC biosecurity guys have told me the deer numbers are now at record highs, passing the previous high of the 1950's/60's. Over the last few years I had noticed a significant increase in gunshots from semi-autos in the district (presumably goat/deer culling), but hardly any gunshots at all since the law change. Feral goats on the coast are getting out of control, and lots of pine planting in the region is not helping. I'm picking a massive population increase of everything until such time as the problem becomes insurmountable and then someone will wake up to what a stuff up this has all been. This is certainly a key feature of my P pest control application!
