The article traces deer introduction in New Zealand and subsequent spread to Manitoba, where farmers complain of pasture loss and trees damaged by deer. By 1930 the deer population swelled to hundreds of thousands, prompting the Forest Service to consider hiring hunters as private shooters made little impact.
The account describes deer culling across Esk River and Hurunui River areas with some shooters handling up to 1500 deer in a season. It notes postwar use of light aircraft to support hunters, ongoing efforts after two decades, and a warning of potential population rebounds without controls alongside a large reforestation push in Manitoba. It also mentions ice fishing on Clear Lake, Conibear trap distribution to Manitoba trappers, and a local story about a fox named Jimmy in McCreary who was shot.
