Molesworth Station, near Marlborough, was the target of OSPRI's TBfree 1080 poisoning campaign in 2017. The question, just how much collateral damage does 1080 poison do, could soon be answered through a peer-reviewed study commissioned by the Marlborough branch of the New Zealand Deerstalkers Association. Last year, a second 1080 drop was "deferred" and Deerstalkers Association members believed the postponement was related to their deer head count. The iconic high-country station was owned by the people of New Zealand and is a recreation reserve managed by the Department of Conservation.
