It can do a number on populations but not always. One of my major spots got hit last year. Still shit loads of stags in there. Stags are the least likely to die from ingesting that crap (not immune did find 3 dead velveties on the tops presumably from the drop as completely intact nothing removed). Hinds and fawns are far more susceptible though. For herd management I'd take 1080 over waro most days due to the targeted approach to WARO. If WARO targeted hinds (subsidised some how) however that would be the dream as it would actually make a significant difference to these high populations.
