Different agencies have different mandates. Doc are only concerned with ecological values on the public estate. ospri are only interested in pest populations that carry TB or are likely to and to infect cattle. That’s getting less and less. The last possum or deer is of no interest to them. Regional Council are cash constrained and only really have a collaborating role with doc and ospri in regards to pests.
Good luck to coordinating, administrating and funding a bounty across that lot.
