    I thought they were not meant to target deer with 1080. Also, were they not starting to put deer repellent in?

    It's a cruel death, and users of 1080 for pest control rely on a special exemption in the animal cruelty act to avoid getting charged with causing deliberate animal suffering.

    The repellant is just meat meal or dried blood. That is a relatively cheap product to add ( don't believe the 'repellant is todear BS)One difficulty is that post BSE and CWD it is illegal to feed ruminant derived protein to ruminant livestock - meat meal was used in calf and stud stock rations in the past. I guess the fact that it is acting as a repellant in the pellets negates that compliance issue.
    I would suggest that the deer are more conspicuous because they have come out of the blow fly riddled stench of the bush into the open post drop.

    It's not due to less hunters going in those areas 'cos they know it's been poisoned?

    Maybe less hunters with a dog, going back. I never took my dogs back for 12 months.
