What is the go with hunting after a 1080 drop? Pureora is where I wanted to spend my time during the roar and have a camping and hunting area worked out from the last roar.
So I assume I would have to skip this roar and find another spot?
I would just go and have a look pre roar just to see what signs around.
at least that way you'll know not to waste the prime time if its a complete bust.
The doc website says Feb 2025. I can’t see them dropping poison on all the happy bikers that will be frolicking in there at that time. But it’s doc so who knows.
Here is the DOC update. 3 specific areas were done yesterday (2 December). Click "expand all" when you open it.

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.

Post 1080 areas will have less Deer but even less hunting pressure. I wouldn't take my dog in though.
the deer bi-kill given they are sowing in summer likely wont be as bad as one might think - if used in winter when deer are hungry yes can be quite a few tipped over - given there will be 5 months until the roar I would go -dogs no - only takes a pin head - although very small chance could be still a possum crawled under a bank and has residue in gut - not worth the risk -
