ARTHUR’S PASS NATIONAL PARK BOARD
Sir, —Regarding Mr McLay’s discussion with the Minister of Internal Affairs, about deer-culling and “overgrown tracks” in the Arthur’s Pass National Park, there are quite a number of “£.s.d. permit sportsmen” shooting in the park to-day, and oldtimers state, from experience, that the deer are practically extinct on the Arthur’s Pass side. There are also numerous mountaineers and hikers in the park, and there has never been any complaint about the tracks being overgrown. One deer’s pelt will pay the price of a permit for a year, and if Mr McLay knows one end of a rifle from the other, that should be no bother to him.—Yours, etc., NON-POACHER. July 5, 1944.
