Thread: 1080

I noticed when 1080 drop was advised in the local newspaper deer repellant was being used, then in the smallest of smallest of writing at the bottom it said something along the lines of deer repellant used within 300 mts of private property

Conditions vary. Mostly the use of repellent is negotiated following lobbying. NZDA, Game Council and Sika Foundation all do a great job here. They also audit and monitor repellents' use.

The Haurangis have a history of repellent being used and the deer population is excellent through to too many.

300m ? I thought there was a legal requirement for 1 km buffer zone around all private land?!

Operational buffers are what ever the consent states they’ll be.
