TARARUAS 1080 DROP
Original post
Just to let everyone know in case they haven't heard, DOC dropped 1080 onto both flanks of the Tararuas this week. I've just been around the Holdsworth/Jumbo/Powell/Holdsworth circuit and found 1 pellet on the track near the aluminium bridge on the Atiwhakatu Stream track. I met a DOC guy at A'tu Hut who'd come down Rain Gauge Spur checking for bait on the track below Jumbo and he said the bait would all be gone by the end of the week. So from then on it's possum carcasses which are the worry. In summer I believe they take a couple of months to rot away. I'm giving my dog a 2-week break. He doesn't stray from the track. In fact I use him as a guide dog when I'm confused!!

If you search the web for a couple of key phrases, it's also pretty easy to find the "alternative" point of view.
Another place to look for information is the IRMA review. http://www.ermanz.govt.nz/news-events/1080/
