The Tasmanian government is loosening rules for shooting deer as their numbers continue to soar, but both farmers and shooters are arguing the changes still fall short. A new permit system will allow landholders to shoot deer year-round without quotas, bag limits, or tagging requirements. The exception is in what is called "deer management zone one", where restrictions still apply, including quotas, bag limits and tags. Zone one is where deer are in their highest numbers.
