1080 is shit stuff, should be banned but when it comes to deer its not always the end of the world in a area.
Im hunting a area thats been 1080 5 weeks after they dropped it.
Its had heaps of rain and all pellets are now long gone.
I saw 7 deer in the first trip in there, thers still not bad numbers there and i have no doubt what soever if they still running around after a couple or so weeks after a drop they be fine to eat .
Deer dont take to 1080 well, a small dose will knock they over, worst then dogs.
So if you wait 3 or so weeks, esp let a few rains go by hunt the area and see whats there.
If a deers still running around(quite likely in high ares) it be fine as it would have fallen over long ago if its had any 1080 in it,
