Thread: Stuff that I've learned about deer control

Yes, well written, good points when hunting such places and animal control is number one.
I dont have that problem, dont hunt private land, hunt DOC blocks that all have the green rain and a fair share of hunters. I wouldnt say the numbers are out of control, quite the opposite.

Still, i meat hunt and shoot what i come across, hinds, stags, yearlings, doesnt matter but only generally just one as its all im going to carry out and the others are there for next time,
either for me or someone else.
Pig hunters that get access to private blocks where the cocky want the pigs gone are prime example around here that dont follow Flyblown advice.
I know a few that have lost access because they release the sows or only get one pig and are happy and thats the hunt.

They trying to protect the block so theres plenty of pigs to catch and good boars avaiable for pig hunting comps.
Of cause they missed the point as the cocky wants them gone and stop the damage they cause hence they get the finger.

Years ago when i was pig hunting with mates we had a farm that whenever the pigs made a mess the farmer would ring and tell us to sort the problem.
One day we got 9 pigs with the dogs, couple of good ones and the cocky was that happy we were always welcomed back.

We all want areas where theres animal to shoot, but at the same time even in Doc animal control got to be number one when numbers are getting out of control.
