If the 4 questions you ask are for me, I can offer just the little bit I know, not having been there.
My buddy states that there are waaaaay too many pigs and kangeroo's/wallabies/whatever over there. He called them pests, so I suppose they are like PDogs and such. He made it sound like that type of hunting is an all year 'round thing, with no limits. But being a prviate property thing, it may be different......don't know.
Don't know about the wastage of meat laws in NZ concerning these "pests", but I've eaten kangs and pig, so it seems that it would be reasonable to do so there as well and then to give to those either in need or that want some as well.
As I said earlier, I'm also in favor of reducing pests/wolves/'yotes/whatever that needs thinning, but I don't consider heli "hunts" for Red Stag, Thar or other game animals to be in that same catagory.
WA state also does not allow you to fly and hunt in the same day......FWIW. Makes perfect sense to me.
