OPINION - Is it time we started managing our big game animals as the resource they are, and is a licensing system the first logical step?

At what point will the Department of Conservation actually accept that our big game animals are here to stay, and manage them as the resource they are? Or have the extremist pipe dreams of Forest & Bird become more important than managing our public land for conservation and recreation?

Opinion....It's about time we had a bit of a re-think with regards to WARO and sustainable game animal management.
