Thread: Pureoras and 1080

i remember back in the nineties ...... camped at piropiro on a queens birthday weekend , about 6am on the saturday the trucks rolled in and setup by where you got the drinking water (before it was on tap so at the south end of the campsite .... then came the choppers ..... there was green dust as thick as fog no safety gear worn . while one chopper was applying the baits MAF had a chopper harvesting for TB testing they pulled out some massive pigs and stags. when we stopped in at DOC te kuiti on the way in (told them where we were headed)they said nothing about the planned drop for the weekend .
i imagine now base of operations would be on private land to avoid public interaction and obviously DOC still dont like to give too much away with timing and date details
