they were culled before the changes using centrefires or rimfires.......it just wasnt allowed to be done by general public.

after mellowing to the farmers plight and hunter inability at times to help
ive realised better communication and co ordination could have solved a lot of the mass events on farms .
farmers didn't like being told what to do on their own land with a species they didn't want or ask for and hunters thought their 100 buks a year entitled them to all the say
.now the way it is we both lose I think .
but maybe we can start over and sort it together.
f&g has to play a part to and put the game back into its name.
also not allowing them a place to where you cant get at them is a factor to.
but im piclkin the last few years of intence pressure has spread them to places they weren't before
tho whether they,d eventualy got there anyway is anyones guess.
