That is for TB right? Exactly what the 1080 has been sown to get rid of?

6 months is usually the stand down period following a drop Red. Unofficially you would probably be safe eating the meat off an animal that was running round happily post poison, if you managed to shoot one. Just don't eat the green baits or scrounge the organs off a dead carcass...

the old bugger on there was just referring in infection in general that if there is pus in the lymphnode that the animal is ill and most likely no suitable to be eating, thats what i understood from the vid i dont think he reffered to any one illness. totally agree if running around after a drop it should be fine.

I didn't watch it sorry
I also suspect even if a deer has had a sub-lethal dose the meat might be okay. I think it takes more actual poison to kill a person than a deer....
