The northern Ruahines where done in october Bruce with no repellant, seems to be just as many deer about as before the drop.
I went out 2 weeks before the drop and 3 times afterwards into the same area so feel it reasonably accurate information.

As i have said a year ago there actually is 1080 pellants which the operators call enhanced 1080 and is designed to be used more to kill deer and pigs. Whats actual in it im not sure, be it something the deer find more attractive to eat or a higher dose but it does exist. I use to do lots of pighunting with mates and hunted many 1080 areas, it didnt effect pigs that much. Recently local they used enchanced 1080 to get the pig numbers down right in some areas and a year after there was hardly one pig in blocks that used to have many. The molesworth no doubt deer were the target as much as any possum. Anyone that doesnt believe that DOC after all these years havnt come up with a 1080 dose that works better killing larger game are in dreamland.
They have and are starting to use it more and more. It doesnt help one bit that the woman that took over the roll Maggie (do as im told)Barry used to run is totally against deer and pigs being class as game animals and wants they dead.
She publicly has said as much before she got into power and was involved in the poision bandwagon

None of this is true. No wonder hunters have no credibility and no political influence whatsoever when rubbish like this isn't questioned.
