Only 138 licenses (at £1) for stalking deer were issued in the Wellington acclimatisation district last season, as against 238 (at £2) the season before. “It is satisfactory to know,” said Mr L. O. H. Tripp, at the annual meeting of the Wellington Acclimatisation Society, “that the deer are now under control in our district. The only part where that might not be exactly the case is in the Haurangi, but even there I have been told that there are 75 per cent, fewer deer than there were 12 years ago.”
