  1. Helicopter-based hunting in Fiordland

    unreferenced date February 2007 main Hunting in New Zealand Helicopter hunting of deer has occurred in the Fiordland area of New Zealand since the 1960s. As long ago as the 1920s, introduced Europe an deer plagued the Fiordland National Park to the detriment of the native New Zealand flora and fauna . The New Zealand government placed a bounty reward bounty on the deer, paying local hunters for each animal removed from the park. With the market for venison and deerskin, by the 1960s this had proved a lucrative enough business for several hunters to invest in helicopter s, to travel fast through the rugged landscape. Deer populations plummeted as a result, and competition among hunters grew more fierce. Accusations of sabotage and the flouting of rules became common in this unregulated industry. Combined with a growing farm raised deer industry, and the impact of New Zealand government s efforts to poison the wild deer population with Sodium fluoroacetate 1080 poison , the helicopter hunting market declined steeply. However, its legacy lives on, as former hunting helicopters as of 2009 alt these days carry tourists and hunters into the New Zealand wilderness.

Immediately afterwards a crew member would jump from the helicopter and tie and place the deer into livey bags for carrying out to the waiting farmers. History European settlers imported red deer into New Zealand and released them into the forests starting in the 1860s, along with many other introduced animals. The environment proved perfect for a population explosion, the result being widespread damage both to vegetation and to farmers grazing.
