The Tasmanian Government has commissioned a consultancy (CLIP) to report on the feasibility of a trial of commercial harvest of wild deer in Tasmania.

The Australian Deer Association has concerns about the impartiality of the consultant engaged and we have strong suspicions that his final report will be an attempt to “please everyone”.

As a part of the report writing process, CLIP have sent out a survey for hunters.

Notwithstanding all of the above we feel that it is important that Tasmanian hunters complete the survey openly and honestly.
