As far as could be' judged the deer had not done-any damage to'the bush. ' ■ : .'- •
Theireport. added that-pheasants and ducks were" seen, quail were plentiful, and .in the' bush wild peaches were in abundance.
■The ' society decided to allow a restricted number of-red; deer to be shot in the Taumarunui district next year, and to decide-in' August many licenses shall-be issued,"-also the 'amount of thi> fees.*- • . ; ■'■■■:. :- ... . ; -,
