I live on the edges of it - can confirm that it was poisoned with 1080 recently. There were a lot of goats there last year, however between poison and cull probably not that many.
Any deer that might be around are supposedly over the Kawhia side, I think a few escaped end of last year from a farm on the Te Pahu side but not sure how many.
Have spent some time in there on this side (TePahu side - never seen any deer sign, some pig sign about)
