In fact I know of one where there is tahr (outside the tahr area) I'll pay for you to come down and shoot an animal on it. The tip? Good luck. You might not like going from 500 metres to 1500. But there's a back fence you say, yep, that fucker is down by the road at 600 metres. It's still all part of a station so it's not free range. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
I can take you to dozens and dozens of places like this.

Hmmm, clearly we have completely different views on the matter and as Barnes Lady generously acknowledges, it is fine for that to be the case. It comes down to which definition you subscribe to Wirehunt. For me any genetic influence in the animal from the intervention of man (selective breeding influence) rules the animal out of my definition of free range (as does its being taken on private land. No amount of debate will cause me to ever change my view on that. Thanks for the offer of the trip by the way. I just might take you up on that one day.
