Newfieboy - What skidbiter was saying is that this video was from back in the day where the venison recovery industry was in its hey day. Back then there was prob 100 machines around NZ working on deer recovery. Today there would probably be a total of about 12 in the whole country. Back then you would get around $3500 for a live hind but these days they dont even go after live deer anymore because of all the deer farms out there.
The guys hunting today just shoot them and there isnt the pressure to perform and get many deer a morning like they did back then. I personally know the risks in this industry as had a lot of people I know killed in the venison industry.
Anyway hope that helps highlight what he was meaning by no pressure these days.
Cheers
