Sounds like a credible source.

Any chance we could have this moved out of hunting and into a more appropriate area?

Perhaps the administrators could allocate a place where we can discuss this and related 1080 issues so we don't risk getting chucked out of the forum?

Thanks Woody I was being polite

The way I see it, there are discussions about recreational vs commercial fish quotas, access being lost or blocked or created, bird hunting regs, good and bad dogs, lead shot vs steel etc, all of which impact on hunting, shooting and fishing, and enjoyment of the outdoors. There is no doubt that 1080 and similar poison application affects wildlife, persons enjoyment of the outdoors, camping and wild waterways and the management issues of game hunting to a very large degree, so why should it not have a legitimate place somewhere on this forum? ??

like the trash?

Fair enough to be concerned about the effects if it became open slather on this nice forum; however, if the issue had its own spot and the boundaries were not crossed, there may be something constructive in it-- rather than shutting it out completely?
