Thread: Summer hunting .....a question of ethics??

i share a patch of bush with a fellow member who was kind enough to share this area with only me. i feel very grateful for his sharing of the area. i am a meat hunter and he is a trophy hunter at least in this area anyway. i will not shoot a stag if it is showing a good head or promise of one. i will leave that for my mate (hopefully) Hinds well if i spot a hind and its young enough or deemed not to have a Fawn at foot it would be very hard to look past an opportunity to put meat in the freezer. if i spot a hind with a yearling i will take the yearling first if the hind sticks around long enough i will take her to. the last 1/3 of this video deals with herd management which think has merit. summer time i would honestly target yearlings TV Wild :: it is hard for some people when presented with a clear shot of a deer not to take it when they have spent 10 hours stalking the bush and only see a lactating Hind that takes alot of control not to shoot that animal when there's no meat in the freezer. the debate has been great. what are peoples thought on the video is it possible to manage a nz wild herd this way and have the best of both worlds excellent trophies while still putting meat in the freezer.
