goes to show that you really must consider a lot of ecological factors, work with conservation agencies, have a core group of skilled, local, hard-working hunters (a small proportion of total hunter population are the most effective ones - I know people like this and they are exceptional people), have baseline studies and continual monitoring, still use professionals and other control options.. etc... etc..

where are the management plans for NSW - what is the strategy?

yes, yes, yes. yes we are. Generally, there aren't really any other than that the persons recruited must be licensed shooters and comply with paperwork. Surely there is science behind the scenes but that is not where it should be.

My FiL always said tha the public service had the capacity to retain dead wood. Though he was a public servant himself. It was his job to assess his employees amongst other things.
