May I offer one general comment re shooting in national parks?
The aim of park management is (or should be) to eradicate non-native
animals. Private hunters may well have a vested interest in maintaining a
feral population. And even those who are sympathetic to n park principles
are unlikely to persist in hunting down the last few individuals.
