I went into the raukumaras afew weeks ago, there was no shortage of deer. There was also a shit load or possums. Alot of the deer I got a good look at were in very poor condition. Skinny as all hell. We will be heading back in to the raukumaras in a months time with a "shoot everything we see" mindset, i hate 1080 but the number need to be reduced in there. What meat we can will be recovered but alot of the deer seen on the last trip were in some very hard to reach spots.
