To find one that's been turned into a pancake ..well it would have had to have been rather a large whatever or the poor sod has been run over multible times lol. Yeah XR500 they can really do some serious damage if hit at speed eh.

OK. Must have been hare/coon/bunny. The weight limit I think on the Crown range is 14 tonne, so only relatively small truck tyres involved in administering the pancaking process.

They are in the Lindis so just gota get across the river to Wanaka.

Wash ur mouth out @Trout they r not in the lindis they spent weeks in here looking for them and never found any

Oh they havnt hopped up from Ranfurly or StBatherns yet.

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.
