Mr Smith is so proud to announce that they dropped 825 tonnes of green crap.
Because that's an ACHIEVEMENT he can be PROUD of !
Actually, pollies just love statistics
Just understand, statistics can mean anything you want them to.
Meh.
And they release all the crap about how good it's doing over the holiday period when no one's around to dispute their spin doctors dribble.
Don't know about everyone else, but I take anything a pollie says as b/s until proven correct.
I know it should be the other way around but meh, they are professional liars.
Sad state of affairs.
Just got confirmation that 100% of the endangered banded rock wren population in Kahurangi National Park can no longer be located since the 1080 aerial drop.
Just like you were told DoC but as always you know best you useless pack of pricks.
25 rock wren were being monitored by DoC and they haven't been able to locate them since the 1080 drop. It makes no mention of the rest of the population that they had identified (39 in total). They knew the location of them all. Surely they would have mentioned the others if they had found them alive. This isn't good enough, DoC. The birds were doing fine until you decided to drop poison on them. Why did you choose to use 1080 when your own protocol tells you to be very cautious where there are endangered birds?
Dundee, where did you get your info ?
Have just read the letter sent to land owners around Hunua preparing them for the 1080 drop by Auckland Super City spin doctors, will get a copy to put up.
I put this whole 'dropping 1080 in areas that are known to have endangered bird in them' with a pro 1080 group and man, I got my head bitten off like no tomorrow.
I was called a troll and then some. All I was saying was that in say a valley where known birds are to be, why don't DIC etc 1080 the area around it, but trap the valley to prevent this from happening.
Again got head bitten off saying traps kill as many birds as poison.
You can't win with the pro 1080's
Traps kill as many birds as poison ?
But according to DOC 1080 doesn't kill birds ( small amount of sarcasm here )
Closed minds, and all that.
Some more from DOC,

God dam that heavy snow!!!
like up your arse?:ORLY: Hunters are effected by this poison along with every one else that enjoys the out doors. If you don't like 1080 being mentioned in hunting forums go join Nick and Maggie.The more people that are aware of the poison being dumped in our so called clean land, it might get stopped!
Perhaps the administrators could allocate a place where we can discuss this and related 1080 issues so we don't risk getting chucked out of the forum?
The way I see it, there are discussions about recreational vs commercial fish quotas, access being lost or blocked or created, bird hunting regs, good and bad dogs, lead shot vs steel etc, all of which impact on hunting, shooting and fishing, and enjoyment of the outdoors. There is no doubt that 1080 and similar poison application affects wildlife, persons enjoyment of the outdoors, camping and wild waterways and the management issues of game hunting to a very large degree, so why should it not have a legitimate place somewhere on this forum? ??
Fair enough to be concerned about the effects if it became open slather on this nice forum; however, if the issue had its own spot and the boundaries were not crossed, there may be something constructive in it-- rather than shutting it out completely?
It's a shit emotive issue where neither side really wants to listen to the other, no-one is going to come to any agreement talking about it on here and it just devolves into either an echo-chamber of dumbness or name-calling.
The best thing to do Woody is to use this forum for your own ends I've decided, Pm the guys you want to deal with and forget the rest, pity I think the heart will slowly stop beating, but he'll there are some great guys on here, yourself included, and that friendship came through a chance meeting on here, but I have to move on, when thinks you enjoy cause you grief control it or cut it loose. Just my thoughts.
I'm hoping for rain real soon as long as its not green rain:( PM ya emails if ya want to keep in touch.:P
Fair comment Maca49. I 've made my point-s and can leave it there. The forum overall can decide what it wants to do regarding any 1080 discussions. There are other avenues available to those who really want to get stuck in.
In the meantime lets just enjoy what we can and stay away from shit.
Looking at opening up a new hunting access track as a project soon. :):thumbsup:

If we pretend it's not happening our hunting estate won't be effected.
Because theres only one forum to discuss stuff in the whole wide world
