Thread: Climate

On the topic of how Climate will affect hunting I have the following thoughts:
In areas with sufficient scope to move, such as we have in the South Island along the main divide, animals already migrate back and forth in seasonal patterns.
As I write this I know that the deer and chamois from the Harper Avoca, the kowhia and Craigiburn have for the most all ( certainly hinds)migrated to the West Coast for the winter. The pigs around the Inland Kaikoura road / Hossack have migrated to coastal Cheviot as a further example.
In extreme droughts or extreme wet periods now and into the future I see the animals moving and responding to these potential extremes. In landlocked areas with only one climate exposure it is likely that animals will abandon those sites and not return.
