- bacon_waffle 3y agoBroadly speaking, they are, but Department of Conservation isn't well funded and has bigger pest issues than deer. https://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/pests-and-threats/predator-free-2050/ https://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/pests-and-threats/predator-fr...
- mvdtnz 3y agoThe government does a lot of work to control deer but it's expensive and difficult work. They are an incredibly successful species in our environment due to our mild winters and a lot of native flora are excellent food stock for them. They have no natural predators here, and not really any introduced predators.
