I wonder if there is any significance in the statement:

"...even after this control work is done there will still be ample tahr to sustain guided tahr hunting and tourist ventures."

No reference to recreational hunting?

I wonder if this is someone trying to make a quick buck off the back of the proposed cull? Hate to imagine the amount of gut/arse shot animals running round after a rookie chopper shooter has had a go.

Bloody awful, and we need Kiwi's to be aware of this sort of commercialization too. I posted this up on their page but I doubt it'll stay long . . .

"This is an appalling commercialization of our NZ game animals, bad enough that they have to be culled, completely unacceptable that it is offered as a moneymaking venture called "hunting". To anyone considering this be assured you will be seen as a pariah in NZ hunting circles and hopefully tossed head first out of any pub in the land. Don't be fooled into paying for this is you call yourself a hunter. I (and most anybody on the NZ Hunting and Fishing Forum) will gladly point you in the right direction to hunt (or cull) our game if you wish."

Piss poor shooting, not a good look and I wonder if he was licensed to be using an E Cat rifle?

I wondered the same thing as soon as I read it.
