    It'd be nice if people would self moderate their language and not act like morons because I don't want to have to do it, but that's pretty extremely uncool

    Sometimes it seems like there are more argumentative posts about whether or not 1080 threads should be banned than there are about 1080.

    Just the messenger here don't shoot me down. Some hunters in the area should know about this if it's not you move along too the next thread.

    This 1080 drop (weather permitting) will take place Saturday 14th February - Makarora is at the head of Lake Wanaka and the drop zone covers both sides of State Highway Six. The dispersal area is next to the Makarora River, within 200m of SH6, and within 500m of the Cameron Flat camping ground.

    Looks like trampers on the Young-Wilkin circuit will be getting a green shower too then!


    I guess that land beside the main road is far to remote to even consider trapping or bait stations instead of aerial drops.

    [QUOTE= I guess that land beside the main road is far to remote to even consider trapping or bait stations instead of aerial drops.[/QUOTE]

    Thats my thinking. I get there probably needs to be some ariel drops, but surely areas like this should be trapped, bait stations or shot. Just like the valley or whatever has endangered species in them, trap the surrounding area, ariel drop the rest. Surely this must be a better way than what DOC etc are doing now. After all, isn't the main / whole reason for this is to protect these species?

    Dosent make sense to me.

    Let them drop all the 1080 they want, kill all the birds, then there is no need for the stuff and the problem will go away.

    The problem is not the 1080, its the bloody birds so once they are gone there the whole place will quieten down.

    Problem solved

    Every time I see 1080 on the news none of the reporters seem to have been briefed very well - or just lack the balls to ask some tough questions or reference some studies, etc. Either that or they can't even get doc to appear unless they submit a list of questions they'll be asking beforehand. Wouldn't surprise me. If that's the case though then they should teach them a lesson and run a piece without them even being there to defend themselves.

    If we lose ONE bait at work - ONE - we have to go through a lot of drama and paperwork. If a non-target species eats it through it being lost or the trap not being disposed of properly...then the shit really hits the fan. Did I emphasize one bait enough?

    Then there is the New Zealand Department of Conservation nuking half the country with hundreds of thousands of baits in a completely non species-specific way. Blows my mind.

    MattyP if you lose a bait I'd bring that up in my defence, obviously the product is totally harmless to anything except targetted species because of the random spread of it from the air! Would be really good to bring up in a personal grievance situ, if someone was dismissed for losing a bait, might be a good way to lose your job, once you are sick of it

    Haha. Alas though, where I work stuff is actually backed up by science and evidence. If we found a dead animal from a bait that was targetting non-indigenous rats, we wouldn't be able to explain it away by some bullshit like snow killing it. Because they would test it, and then know. Crazy logical ideas, right!?

    Bet they don't test those birds even if they do find any bodies. Easy enough to do.

    They don't WANT to find the bodies, cos until they do it's all 'posibilities' and nothing proven.

    You depart with mighty boasts, but you come back having done little.
    Sounds like a typical hunting trip !
