Both, no disrespect. But this why hunters aren't taken seriously.

Two Kgs per Hectare with the repellent has got to be better than 10-15kgs per Hectare and no repellent as used not so long ago. None would be better.

Bit of a shame that they can't put heavier /more repellent on.
For land that is not earning apart from what hunting fishing and trampers spend on it.
Hunting spending the biggest amount I recon. Yet there destroying this valuable resource
You can see what I mean by looking at the sums below.

Just stole this from the thread I started "What it's worth"

http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/1...nalCode=tnzz20

So it looks like we spend an average of $296.78 a month

X12 = $3561.36
If we go back to the Doc stats they recon on 50,000 active hunters

50,000 X $3561.36 =$178,068,000

Shit who says we don't have an active part in the economy.
Now I know that we don't all spend that
So then I'd say that Doc needs to at the very least add deer replant to all there 1080 drops. As there hurting the economy of NZ by not doing this.

Recreational big game hunters make a significant contribution to conservation through kills of deer, pigs, chamois and tahr. New opportunities for managing recreational hunting through the proposed Game Animal Council underscore the need to understand the implications of potential changes in recreational hunting participation and harvests. Based on a survey of hunters' recall over a year, hunters averaged 15.63 (SEM = 0.58) big game hunts per year, spending 30.53 (SEM = 0.85) days hunting and killing 8.92 (SEM = 0.69) big game animals. Hunters commonly targeted several species on a single hunt, with highly skewed distributions for hunter effort and kills. Mean monthly expenditure on big game hunting items was $296.78 (SEM = $8.95). Results demonstrate that big game hunting is a significant activity in New Zealand, but this varies considerably among hunters with a small number responsible for the vast majority of kills. These are important considerations for future big game hunting management.

Hey Tahr just done some research and see that all deer were classed as pests in 1930.

Here's me thinking 1980

Is the crown herd still farmed in Te Anau? Can't really find anything of resent on it?
Sorry I know this is a little off topic
