    Poisoned deer could move several km from a poisoned site. The cautions are in place for good reason.

    I haven't come across any warnings for St James (not saying there isn't any) but surely deer can cross the Clarence easily enough

    That's what I would've thought.

    @ Hunting Dad There’ll be guys on here that know a lot more than me. I think more risk in taking pork, they’ll move a long way and will happily dine on almost anything, secondary poisoning is possible. As for deer 4 months after the drop, you’d be unlucky to have issues. Use common sense.

    Gossip is that all 100 collared deer were alive after the toxic drop.
    Gossip is all 100 collared possum were dead after the toxic drop.

    The new repellent sounds like a promising turn for the better in regard to deer by kill.

    I believe the repellent is incorporated through out the cereal bait during manufacture, not just applied to the outside.
    Not sure if the repellent itself is new though?

    I’m pretty sure as Moutere said the repellent is incorporated into the cereal bait, not just applied to exterior.

    Interested in the collared numbers Moutere, groundbreaking if it’s true.

    I doubt there were 100 deer captured and collared, more like 20. The last time deer were collared in the Clarence for research into the new repellent it was a very inefficient operation helicopter hour wise, should have got an expert WARO/capture crew to do it like our favourite Hanmer Springs pilot, not one in fluro vests with clipboards.

    Ive emailed OSPRI asking how many deer were collared and their survival rate.
