We live in Whitianga, one of our lads at works dad's used to bowl the odd red up the 309 back in the 90's, long since been clear of them though. There's been a few escapees from our local deer farms but as soon as DOC get a wiff of deer around here its all on with contractors in the hills. The poor goats don't even stand a chance up here with contractors and green rain scheduled for later in the year, the scrub bull's on the other hand are fairly common

some hunting for the young buggers perhaps - have chased scrub stuff south Taranaki for many years and target the yearlings and the fat looking younger ones - good hunting and great eating - leave the old stuff to breed the heads are crap jersey sort of cross so we just target good eating
