Thread: Saturday morning stroll

Belated reply Phillip, the thumb up thing Im picking is some sort of tappa talk glich when posting from phone.
As for seeing stuff, I see animals pretty much every time.BUT that is only because I dont shoot everything I see.
It would be real easy to shoot everything on the tops out of this area but I am trying to farm them
While I wouldn't begrudge a young or new hunter shooting anything they can. I hope once they have got a few they get a bit more "conservationist "

One thing I learnt very early on is you can only shoot a deer once,if you find a nice spot and there is three and you shoot one next time there will be 2 and so on. If you shoot em all out of an area it can take a LONG time for them to come back if ever.

Seeing animals everytime you go is good, vc. I wish I could say the same haha but nah, right now I'm putting in the foot-hours to find the animals so I can say the same in the future. All part of it. And you're very right about being conservative, I wish me and my mate had been a bit more selective about shooting goats out the back of my mates farm a few months ago. Went back there just after the new year it certainly hadn't bounced back. Didn't shoot all of them so they should come back eventually, but when they do, I'll only shoot one here and there.

Ps. When you shoot the tops, are you in Kahurangi National Park?
