    A few deer for the freezer

    We flew into the block by Heilcopter.
    We have very few game laws here in New Zealand,its not illegal to shoot deer from the Heilcopter,if thats what you wan to do.

    You can go into the forest and shoot as many deer as you like

    And we don't have to pack any meat if you don't want to.

    This was a private block,the own likes hunters to only shoot one deer per day per hunter.

    Great pics! I wish I was there!

    Just to clarify for those who are unfamiliar....NewZealand has no predators (other than the two-legged variety) and all big game species are introduced. This means that without very aggressive population control programs there would very quickly be a massive number of animals eating everything in sight.

    TP,

    We have just the thing for your deer problem, we have lots and lots of wolves to spare. How about we ship 50 Thousand or so over to you
    Maybe then we would have some great deer/moose/elk seasons over here.

    Sounds like you had a great trip. Congrats.
