   Yes. Thats what I meant by shooting to waste. Just get in there with a chopper and go full bore. A good culler doesn't looks back.

   You'd be hard pushed to compete with a chopper, the neighbour's had 300 shot from a bird in few hours, even good ground crews couldn't do that in my experience. Sent from my SM-S916B using Tapatalk

   We are already seeing a lot of helicopter shooting to waste. (and ground shooting) And we will se a lot more - especially with low carcass weight deer like fallow. If I was still a cocky I would...

   I think you have to balance out the revenue you can gain from selling them for pet food, along with your overheads and investment in gear......also skill level. I know if I was paying per deer shot...

   How long is a piece of string? If you're planning on setting this up as a business you cannot have a "fixed price" your time will vary from job to job. You could have a low "kill" price. which is...

    I suspect the farmer will have plenty of options to get deer shot for free, so that's what you're competing against, and that will strongly influence the price you can charge. As a land owner with...
