You want examples of "positive" use ?

Just about every fenced sanctuary project in NZ, and most of the offshore islands used for saving species that are critically endangered.

Come on gadget, that is way too sensible ! You should know by now that you are either completely anti-1080 or completely pro-1080. There is no middle ground ;)

Well Maca49, even if John had those figures, I'm pretty sure you guys would claim they were false propaganda by the evil DOC/AHB/OSPRI conspiracy... And lord knows the likes of the anti-1080 brigade...

Depends on whose money you're spending Greg :D

I'm not making any value judgements on what is best.

But when someone says that can do do the job for the same cost when I know for a fact its...

The cost is not even close to being similar. In your own words you are comparing the cost of 3 days worth of trapping to the cost of applying 1080 once every 3 years. The more you repeat it, the more...

Stick with the 200ha size you want.

You claim the 1080 cost for that will be $12K. Since 1080 is normally only spread around 3...

Woody, I am back from my tramp :thumbsup:

You should really stick to anti-1080 activism and leave economics to other people ...

So the $ 60 / ha figure. That's maybe a bit on the high end...

Woody, you are bemoaning the economics of 1080, I asked you some really basic questions about the economics of your alternative.

Could you please answer them in point-wise fashion.

200 days,...

Woody, is it $60 per ha per year ?

So then a 200ha trapper would stand to make $12 K per year ?

What are the setup costs for traps, and how often do they need to be replaced ?

Does the $60...
