Old Timer Skid Biters

New Zealanders have a long history of managing animal populations, making use of their wild spaces, widening the line between wilderness and farm to make a living off the land.

thanks for the comment, where I am from, in northern California, we have a government management of deer sometimes even by helicopter netting and inserting contraception, and it is illegal to hunt. Culling programs that cost $400 per deer, meat of which is wasted. Our USA top heavy management seems quite a contrast to the people in this video who can hunt for a living, even with helicopters.

Not sure about the theory of deer replacing the Moa . The forest doesn't need to be grazed. The moa were nowhere near as destructive as the deer are now. The deer are a feral animal and New Zealand is better off for having control of the population. Now we need to get rid of the rest. New Zealand is a paradise for birds, or it was until people came here with their many animals. Early explorers wrote of being woken by the 'dawn chorus' of birds whilst aboard ships anchored well off the shore.
