Interesting ...as a young fella growing up in Porirua we would hunt goats over eastborne way,and always get a few.....weren’t too many deer,but occasionally we would take one.Worked as a Shepard for ken gray on his grays road property,in pauahatanui,the one on pukerua bay,and the one up the ”piecock” Hill.......pigs,deer,and goats were always there.I would always take the 303 during any muster,as the dogs would always flush something out.
For anyone living in Whitby,back side of Porirua,behind Waitangirua,there used to be an old trig station up there,looking over the now police college,we would hunt that area (as it was still lands and survey stuff)and over to whitby for pig(4 legged type).....never had a problem getting any.That country over eastborne way has a,ways been good country for our introduced species,not surprised they are having issues.
