What are the threats to New Zealand hunting and how to train a deer dog

General manager for the New Zealand Game Animal Council Tim Gale speaks to me about the days when his dad used to supply deer farms with wild caught hinds.

He gives me tips on training a dog to hunt deer.

We lament that we don't get out enough.

He tells me about his horse wrangling and hunting guide days overseas.

We discuss working with people with opposing views and diplomacy.

We discuss the challenges the council face and the challenges deer, tahr and chamois face.
