RE: HNI Thinktank: Arrow Coatings
On a TV hunting show the other night I saw what I believe they called a "green hunt" (not sure though about the name). It was a bowhunter in Africa that was going to shoot a rhino in the back hindquarter with a dart tipped arrow. They (vet & management people)needed to sedate the rhino so that they could get blood to test and take measurements. Anyway, they mounted the dart on the arrow, the guy got within about 25 yds and shot him. It all worked out the way it was supposed too. I think the guy mentioned that SCI recognizes these "records" under this "green hunt" label (green hunt meaning not killing the animal). Thought it was interesting. Don't know if it adds to this topic or not though

Bruce: I got lambasted last year for suggesting that the same tactic should be legalized for hunting whitetails in the U.S. Granted, I didn't call it "green hunting" because I was unfamiliar with the term... I believe the thread was called "Catch and Release Hunting" and all the HNI "inside-the-box thinkers" were peeing themselves with anger and vitriol over the whole thing. No surprise really.
I mean, you see a nice,but still immature buck - you take him down with your sedative arrow, take a few field photos and measurements - have your taxi build you a set of replica antlers to puton the mount. Maybe shoot him again next year.
Isn't that the ultimate in "letting them go so they can grow?" I mean, if it's SUCH a great idea for fish, I don't know how it could possibly be that bad an idea, as applied to mammals.
Funny how I always get labeled as crazy - but then we see these things actually happening (past or present). Amazing how that works. [:-]

Nevermind Gr8 - you missed the whole point. I told you to ignore whether it was legal or not. You couldn't seem to get over that hurdle.

Don't worry, Gr8. Not everyone can be this awesome. The world needs balance.
MN/Kyle: You just can't give that type of weapon to the blundering redneckhordes. It's a recipe for disaster. Like giving matches and gasoline to an arsonist.

I talked with the inventor of the pod at length many times about this subject he died a few years ago.
The stuff he used would not kill a human supposedly
I think it would be a pandora's box.
