Total and utter BS. New Zealand sharpshooters....!!! What there are no hunters in BC?
5.7 million dollars!
Maybe we could employ these sharpshooters to take out the government aholes that approved this, it would be far better use of the money.

Just think, if they had of used local hunters and charged a fee for the thrill there would have been a line up of guys to do it like hog hunting in Texas! K

Is there any truth to this article or is someone just stirring the pot?

There are a lot of people in B.C. that would cull the deer for a hell of a lot less. We don't need paid foreigners to do it.

I had friends up there that participated in a similar project 25 years ago and many deer were killed but they came back. The season there you were allowed 10 deer. The rats are another problem as well, they were plentiful.
