   1080 will never be used to eradicate deer. But aerial shooting operations are looming - in many areas there are too many deer. Most farmers though don't realise the high populations on their...

    Yeah, I know a couple of spots like that. The numbers have already exploded. Last time out (mid Jan) the hinds were out with their fawns, plus lone stags, small groups of spikers, yearlings. From...
