From liberation in the wild for the pleasure of early European settlers, through the culling era when successive governments tried to destroy every deer, then the helicopters involvement in shooting and live capture. (During this era 201 helicopters crashed killing a total of 49 people while endeavouring to shoot or catch deer) and finally farming. New Zealand has become the largest deer farming nation in the world.
