O.M.,
Very few North American residents understand anything about game management in your part of the world. We have been very successful here using the N.A. model of game management but that model is not universal. What works here does not necessarily work everywhere. On my first trip to New Zealand I bought several books on NZ hunting and was shocked at the numbers of game taken and often just for the heads. Completely contrary to our thinking. Then I began talking to the locals and seeing the pictures of rivers filled with dead deer poisoned by 1080 and the pictures of the hill eaten bare taken in the 50's. I soon began to see the problems and solutions were different than what I had known at home. Having seen rabbits in thousands I can only imagine the damage they can do. Please continue to share your stories of growing up down under in a rural area. Some of us do enjoy reading them and can appreciate them, I do.
