Thread: Pureora 1080

Looks like the hunting in north block is about to be shit on ,DOC planning on aerial 1080 soon according to the pesticide summary.

@The bomb would you mind sharing your source/link?

Dunno how to do that but go to DOC pesticide summary and it’s all there,someone more computer literate will be able to 8m sure.

Wife showed me how to do it.

Somebody with a less suspicious mind would jump to the conclusion that they are not really after possum !

Hard to see but start date is in august 2021

Not that the place is crawling with deer either!!

Thanks.
Application date is for 1/8/2021 - 1/11/2021.
Luckily I don’t hunt there…

Well it's been more than 4 years since it last happened, deer repellant?

was told it was coming by a local famer back in Feb, we we did a meat hunt on his place, NW side. Guess that will bugger some of his side line activities with renting out private access and meat hunts.
Hope do do Waihora Lagoon for a weekend late July.

Just looked at the summary map looks like it's only the north block thats for it.
But the they are also going to do the whole erua block and the whole tongariro forest.
no mention of deer repellant.
Haven't seen much evidence of possums anywhere around here so guess deer are the target

Any body know if this happened? How to find out? Hoping it didn't due to lockdown and I can get in some level 3 day hunts.

as far as im aware they were only ever going to do the northern block aerially so areas like piropiro and south should be ok (check on DOC website tho just to check im not wrong).....the last time they carpet bombed piropiro area was years ago (maybe 6-7) i was i a few days after and saw plenty of rats but birds well the silence was deafening the woodys dont seem to get hammered but to hear morepork call out and not get a reply is sad .....birdlife bounces back but takes a long time and they will never get rid of rats predator free is just a fairy tale......
