    does that refresh the dormant cells old chap!
    that it do old son but the worst part of that was doc hamstrung themselves by not stating as they now did/do for us mere mortal hunters that steel was to be used, on the permit.
    still nothing was done about the carcasses everywhere and the problem was left to rot itself away dont think anything came of the wainono cockups either.

    I've read this thread and am amazed that the government let so many great birds go to waste and seemingly rot. They're highly prized here.

    I remember as a small kid here in the USA when Canadas were scarce as hens' teeth, and we had restoration programs for them. MAN! Did they rebound!

    How did you get the birds? Were they imported to NZ? I can see that they could become pests, seeing you don't have our aggressive predators.

    yep probably gifted to the then acclimatisation societies by america or canada .
    we have the biggest sub species the gigantis tho a 12 pounder is the biggest ive wieghed in but i suspect ive shot and seen shot bigger.
    sorry to say so luv2safari but our collective use or otherwise of the game gifts we,ve been .given has had its succession of poor handling and wastage.
    sometimes by neccessity ie pest proportions but other times just plain lies and ludicrous decisions by politicians .

    agreed it a world wide problem the reacting to wildlife problems punitivly or at best far to late.
    at the moment mallards are ''in decline in some regions'' the solution captive breeding by preserves and private sydicates for thier own or paid enjoyment.
    there is hope with late to the party research but im surprised given how we blindly took up non toxic shot that some of your other gamebird management ideas havent found more favour.
    split seasons and drake heavy limits to name two but theres always the rules are for those that follow them another world wide phenomanon.
    now im mobile again if you ever get out this way and depending on the time of year i would endeavor to show you some goose hunting that will make your mouth waterand maybe some cali quail that will have you shaking your head as to how you can hunt them in this crap. .
