RE: HNI Thinktank: Arrow Coatings
 

In this situation, yes, I could see it being a real benefit. But, for where I hunt in a non-suburban area, I think it would take the challenge away.

RE: HNI Thinktank: Arrow Coatings
 

A lot of this goes back to the "traditional" discussion yesterday. On one hand, we're saying "let's all use dated technology, and do it like the indians did it." Fair enough. Well, the indians used this stuff, but it's taboo? I'm not seeing the line of demarcation.

One other thing to ponder: Y'all act like I'm the antichrist for suggesting this... Well... Like anything else... The legislaturehad toillegalize said conductbecause peopleWERE doing it. So this isn't coming totally out of left-field. This was a practice that had been used by some in the past.

Y'all are focusing only on the negatives (if they're actually "negatives" at all) - that it corrupts the "difficulty" of the hunt. I'm just saying - there are 2 sides to every coin.

Put it this way: You're a deer. Youhave a hunter sittingin a tree overheadwith 2 arrows. One is a regular hunting shaft. The other is coated with a mixture of anticoagulants, numbing agents, sedatives, and poison. Which one would you rather get shot with?

Answer that honestly.

Funny you should use Mississippi in your joke....

MS is the only state I believe that it is legal to use poison...And the meat is very edible...

Maybe Fran is not the one on the pipe ........ it just may be you that have answered his question seriously .....:eek: :D

RE: HNI Thinktank: Arrow Coatings
 

Whoa. I definitely never knew that. What do they use on the arrows? And is it a prevalent thing, or do just a few guys do it?

Learn something new everyday.

RE: HNI Thinktank: Arrow Coatings
 

Can't I just jump the string or duck the arrow:eek:[8D]


I guess by the one with the poison on it

RE: HNI Thinktank: Arrow Coatings
 

I admit I am in a crotchedy mood this morning but I'm not going to say what I really would like to say about such an idea other than this............I could not, would not give any congratulations to anyone who used any such coating to take any animal.

Hunters.........our own worst enemy.:eek:

RE: HNI Thinktank: Arrow Coatings
 

Its used in a pod, which slips on right behind the broadhead. The poison is a powder that puts the animal to sleep. Same thing vets use. But its very potent to hooved animals...

At one time ALL bowhunters used it... As time has gone by, less and less use it.

It's a strage law....Its legal to use it if you have it, but illegal to buy and sale it.... ;)

However, you can buy the pods in almost every bow shop. The hard part is finding the poison to go in the pods... But if you look hard enough, you can find it... I've used it in the past.....It works.

From the MS DNR website

Anectine (trade name) is a federally controlled drug that requires approval from the FDA to sell, purchase or use. Mississippi lacks any specific statute or regulation (on the state level) prohibiting it's use which has given rise to black market trade within the state. The improper use or sale of the drug by anyone other than a duly licensed physician trained in it's use for proper medical procedures still carries both civil and criminal penalties should the FDA or any other federal enforcement agency decide to pursue punitive action.

Succinylcholine Chloride is the chemical name for bowhunting poison.

Clarify please. Who all used it? Saxon Pope and Art Young and others? I've heard that Fred Bear may have used it.
