That really pumped up this thread.

What is that first critter? Looks like he has quite the winter fur coat. And the Thar too.

That's a lot of meat between all those critters.
 
Hello Cory

The first Animal is a Chamois,introduced from Austria to New Zealand in the late 1800's.

There are no Tags or restrictions on hunting introduced animals on public land in New Zealand.You can hunt where and with what ever you want.
 
I could shoot em no problem, but I'd want someone else to take care of everything from there. ;)

I just wanna see fresh meat all packed up for my freezer! :beer:

That's the extent of my Hunterhood...
 
I totally agree! Having gutted, skinned, plucked, and scaled many an animal over the years, I'd gladly pay someone else to do the dirty work.

Yes, but shooting deer with ear tags is frowned upon.

Especially if they are in the neighbors shed.
 
When I lived in NZ back in 87, they paid you for each Chamoix you killed.
Invasive species and all that.
'
At least that was what I was told.
The Kiwis might have been having me on.
Never occured to me before now.
 
Not on my property.
Here they are the ones that get killed.
 
No. Where is this cats gotta kill rule? Link me up...

You don't need a link. I just wrote it. We have loads of cats(well only three actually, lost two in the last year because well....coyotes gotta eat too) killing critters. Otherwise we'd be overrun with mice,moles, and voles. Here cats are welcome to kill. Kill it up.
 
Domestic cats...like barrel bombs on the small wildlife populations. Sure, if they keep mice out of your house, that's a good thing. But they don't discriminate...they kill untold numbers of songbirds every year as well.
 
I don't care for birds like some people do. Everything seems in balance here to me.

Here's some copy pasta I googled on torturing cats by not letting them outdoors. I'm pretty sure google is full of anything you'd like to find:

Pet owners then began to keep cats indoors for their own safety. Indeed indoor cats can have longer, physically healthier lives than cats allowed outdoors. But on the down side, indoor cats are also more likely to suffer psychologically and develop behavioural problems than those allowed outside.
 
:wall: Dogs are worse :-#

They really have to kill everything. So what if a cat kills a rabbit, or birds or moles and mice. Dogs have to kill anything that moves, even string trimmers, skunks, poisonous toads, cars and trucks, everything that can get them back.

A cat will wait for voles to surface, dogs have to destroy the yard to go after them.
