I have once seen an interesting sign in a roadside property in USA. It was open season for deer hunting and the person who lived there was offering to do the meat selection and preparation for you, for the animals you would bring to his house. He would separate the appropriate cuts, pack and freeze for you and would also prepare any amount you wish into deer burgers.
I thought it was pretty cool that over there they were hunting not only for control or sport, but also for stocking food.

Unfortunately that would be illegal in Australia. Against health regulations. The amount of permits, inspections from authorities and specialist equipment you would need would make this impractical.

Unfortunately for a free country we are very restricted. Even gel guns (toys) are restricted. They know most of the country is unarmed so threats to the government are neutered. No, not advocating a open slather approach a la USA but back to the system we had before jackboot johnny got things his way.
As to controlling feral pests and hunting for food I did that for years mainly goats, rabbits, foxes and cats . would love a go at deer but most are in nat parks and shot and left lying to rot.

Normaly I avoid getting wound up about things and so haven't looked in on this thread.
but Hah. I knew I wandered in for a reason. Call it providence.
NZ is about to introduce a firearm (and associated parts) register.
1) This failed before and was scrapped
2) Canada tried and failed (after spending millions of taxpayer dollars)
3) The police couldn't competently implement the previous legislation, now somehow they think they can do more?
4) The police failed to accurately maintain the previous B, C and E cat registers, affecting only a small percentage of license holders, maybe 10% , despite having forms signed in triplicate
(B, C, and E refers to pistol, collectable (including fully automatic) and "Military" style semi-automatic firearms, respectively) now they think they can handle one 90% bigger?
5) I can only speculate, but I have serious doubts that criminals will register their firearms before, or after, doing crime.
Just as well cars are registered, that's why we don't have off-the-charts incidence of ram raid and vehicle crime...oh fucken hang on, that's exactly what we have.
NZ used to be globally renowned for having the sanest firearms legislation.
For those unaware: the NZ govt copy-pasted the port arthur script, and then the very expensive, hugely ineffective gun-grab and then basically the legislation that followed.
What followed was taking firearms off people who have been vetted fit-and-proper (by an institution demonstrably neither fit, nor proper) while KNOWINGLY leaving firearms in the hands of criminal gangs. The (fairly predictable) result is that we've had about a 500% increase in firearms crime since.
The law abiding are being made to bear the costs of the criminals, and the incompetents. but I repeat myself.
So... That. That is what has made me angry today.
