There are whole series of these. They get into some interesting places, then start the bull commentary about how whatever severely modified environment they are in is in harmony with the "prime free range meat (grotty old males, sometimes from zoonotic disease endemic areas) ad nauseum victims they selectively kill.. And more bull how their ineffectual efforts are somehow "managing" out-of- control pest populations. Que "Save the thar" campaigns. Unsure if they deliberately hide the numbers they see, or simply can't find them, which can take skill/luck. A bit like this vid suggesting it provides some sort of control. Estimated "several hundreds of thousand) wild goat numbers countrywide. They usually have twins, equals needing to remove 50% of the population annually to prevent increase (if population is below carrying capacity). Basic maths: 10 thousand is 10% of 100k, so except for amusement, stay in bed. Simplistic, in some localised spots, usually very easily hunted ones, meaningful population reduction is possible. Hunting is a great pastime for the inclined, but misinformation about it and ecologically damaging & expanding pest populations erodes hunter's credibility. Including DoC hunters & managers, whose efficacy has been very limited. Be grateful they don't shoot back.

What's the deal with yards, I'm a 60yo kiwi and have no idea what you mean

[@nzhunteradventures]

Most of our ballistics/shooting programs are US based (imperial measurements) so everything we use (rangefinders, ballistic turrets etc) are set in yards
