    Well i can say they are buggered now!! we covered the whole block and almost every valley, massive trip and all for 2 deer. Good chamois numbers still so nice to see the 1080 hasn't affected them to much.
    Going off this if you have a roar block that has been 1080ed then i would say don't bother. Disappointing
    I cant like that post.

    We were in the Yarra Block 17 - 21 Feb., Saw 3 promising stags, 2 spikers and 9 hinds. Nothing showing up near the Chimney boundary but still worth looking further in. Never fired a shot but in "hindsight" probably should of seeing as how they'll be tits-up soon enough. Would imagine it'll be noisy during the roar

    Only the western face of the Yarra got 1080 so maybe that is the reason there's still some Deer in there.
