Is there any money to be made in recreational hunting of deer?
Pelts? Meat? Trophies?
Won't be a fortune but anything to keep a few bills in the pocket?

I know Mansfield, but never been on the Merrijig side there.
I wouldn't have access to a property, but it's worth trying the state forests in Merrijig you reckon?

You actually bump into anyone often in all that?
Or just hear them in the area, gunshots etc.?

The forecast is looking pretty bad for rain the rest of the week too - though it'll be a relief, it's so dry up there at the moment
