    We were on the border of the dalgety range 1080 drop in autumn, numbers were definitely down on previous years but they were still there

    The day the so called experts decided to shut down the South Canterbury Wallaby Board was the day things started to turn ti shite.
    The only thing that has changed since those years gone is the increase in Wallaby numbers and where they have spread.. not to mention the amount of idiots aboard the gravy train. The amount of money that's wasted on the ol Wallaby is shocking.

    A group of Mackenzie stations are talking about setting up a private board type structure for wallaby.
    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.

    Good grief B.... that ti me does sound a tad scary. There's a hell of a lot of work involved to even start such a venture eh. finding some one capable
    and with a fare amount of experience behind them well. looking at some of the control methods being suggested and those already in place etc
    I most certainly wouldn't expect any miracles fi sure.
    But hey I'm only dribbling on about what I know, what I've learnt and experienced over several years working on the old Wallaby Board.
    At least in those days the roos were kept where they should've been..and I can say that with a smile.

    Cyanide baits are highly effective and can be used where stock graze. First saw them near benmore a few years ago on a station that also employed a night shooter. I remember my first thoughts on seeing a pile of them were "this guy's good" then I saw the stake and marker. We still got a few in an afternoon.
    They were evidently high maintenance and cost so you know doc won't do it.
