I believe when MS first allowed poison they were using niccotine sulfate. It is in powdered form and was put on the arow shaft under a latex tube kinda like a condom with no closed end. Upon entry of the arrow the larex would roll up the shaft releasing the powder into the blood stream. The PA Game Commission used nicotine sulfate in darts that were preloaded with different dosages of the powder. The stuff was tricky to use because too little and the animal would not go down, too much and they went 10-7, generally the that were given too little were given another dart, which would over dose them and they would go 10-7 as well. I remember reading about the delievery system when MS legalized poison arrows. I don't believe any wildlife agency used nicotine sulfate any more.
