    1080 doesn't leave them if their pregnant, used to leave deer when I'm pig hunting, but not any more.
    As soon as DOC sees too many foot prints it's time for some more green stuff.
    I believe that if the hinds are left you get a imbalance of numbers and creates a poor roar with little competition for hinds.

    From my experience I disagree. If you have a choice why kill everything? Comparing yourself as a hunter with 1080 is a bit out there! Lol

    As for the roar, Stags never used to even roar on our property, the last 5 years have been the best roars yet. This year was intense for 3 weeks solid. Deer numbers are not high but healthy. Not long ago I lived on a station crawling with deer, you would see dozens on each hunt, easy. The roar there is a full 6 weeks of action.
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.
