Thread: 1080 drop back of Te Kumi Station Raukumara

1080 is being spread from helicopters in part of block 2 yesterday and today, there is not a lot of signage and information so putting it here in case someone has plans to go up there over xmas

Mate used to hunt there in the 70's. Big stags but says they have all migtrated to the forestry blocks. More tucker and better cover.

Yea plenty of deer on stations, I've never found a lot a sign in the park

Red Stag Hunters club sky5 now.

Very cunning move, can't record or by-pass the adds.

yup used to be some real big buggers - one of the heaviest reds I have ever seen came of Te Kumi and was sold 403 lb - mate saw a big head of velvet sticking up in a patch of thistles back paddock - real big fat red stag

Watched it at 4am. Sadly it is going the way of most outdoor programmes. Getting very lame.

Good to hear they got some on the ground.
I think the window was closing.

Put it down Friday and Saturday, 65mm rain Sunday, WTF

They done the same at clements Rd, done a drop just before a big rainfall. They’re just keeping the gravy train going. It’ll mean they’ll have to have another drop. There needs to be an investigation into these aresoles. Tax payer money they are throwing around.

Have any more drops gone ahead?

I would have thought its a very strange time of year to do it if you are after a decent kill?
