Eagle , thats not quite true mate , Thar were almost exterminated in the late 70's early 80's , culling & commercial recovery took a heavy toll , the Deer Stalkers even campaining to save them !

I worked & hunted on two of the main Stations & a Thar was a VERY hard thing to find , like none on one & only a few by the homestead on the other , now hundreds , down a bit from a few years back .

Live recovery , for hunting parks hits the trohpy animals hard , Chamois badly as a R22 can get a good load being nice and light , cheaply .

The take by machines almost wiped out the main land Whitetail of both sexes , more so Bucks on the tops in the velvet on long Summer days !
