Thread: World Record Red Deer!!!!......according to an American

Another one for you scouser. What about the joker that uses a chopper to get right up into some big country that would not be accessed by foot. Is this still free range? Or not because not everyone can afford a chopper to get there?

If he/she shoots the stag, do they have to pay for it?....or are they choppered into DOC land like loads of hunters are at present for the roar, im not going on about 'access', im going on about 'selected large trophy stags that are kept for paying clients'

if you cant understand the difference between the two sides of the argument:

1) an overseas client bragging "look at me ive just shot a world record free range stag" and

2) you typical kiwi hunter who saves up for his/her once a year 'roar hunt'

then we will get nowhere with this discussion, do you see what im trying to say here?
