“Night shooting is likely to be a means of deer destruction to be adopted by officers of the Internal Affairs Department in the coming season, and tests of shooting by lamp lights have been made,” said the Minister of Internal Affairs (Mr W E. Parry) in Christchurch recently Mr Parrv said that in some places in the bush and gullies the deer fed in the dark patches at night. The stalkers would carry a lamp in front of them, and the rays would dazzle the deer standing in a good light for a shot “The activities of stalkers who shoot iust for the sake of heads is making deer destruction 20 times more difficult for the organised destroyers.” said Mr Parry.
