As far as I am aware, the Erma review and subsequent HSNO regulations forbid the use of 1080 poison to target deer.

It's a tool. Part of the mix. Useful in certain contexts like broad acre control, and the most successful with some pests - viz wallaby. In some contexts not so much. Hopefully in time it will be...
