Listened to Deer Wars on National Radio for the past half dozen Sunday mornings and searched and found this movie. Really loved it being a past hunter but unable to go bush now. I remember selling deer early 70s to the meat buyers. $1.20 kilo, I could double my railway wage in one day out hunting. Well done and thank you Paul.

@Will (and anyone else who's experienced trouble watching the Deer Wars over the past day or so) -- all the clips should be fixed and playable. It's a great doco -- I trust you can now enjoy it's conclusion!

@Will: thanks for pointing this out to us. It only seems to be an issue if you choose to watch the doco via the low-res clips on the html player. We're onto it. While we're fixing it the player may temporarily go down. Hopefully we sort these 'technical difficulties' out quick-smart (<24hrs).
