I suppose I am a reasonable hunter,living in the bush,and do it as part of my getting around various remote locations on private lands I work on-usually a bit of vermin control such as wild dogs and red deer,even then I do not like to do it all the time-and even then do not like to to see waste of deer meat/carcass-so look see that can be used.

The thought of people from the city going to national parks to hunt,is rather a concern,I have had enough of poachers in our lease hold country,and in private lands we work on,and come april down one creek sounds like vietnam,and its best to keep inside.

Having a mob of city hunters in a national park with very high powered rifles is not a good idea.Some of these rifles fire bullets that are over three inches long and as thick as the middle of your thumb-one bloke showed me this bullet and went on about how powerful the bullet was and how far away it could get a deer-such long distances and bla bla bla.These people are not hunters-to me hunting is getting as close as possible to the target-many of these people today just do not do that.
