Poisoned grease balls or kiss your hunting goodbye. We've been playing that game since the 50's. You can knock them down, but cannot poinson them to extinction. The only way is hunting them to extinction with dogs, but in this country, that is impossible. We've proven you cannot poison them to extinction. Hunters, ranchers and the game branch tried that right here in BC in the 1950's - wholesale poisoning - poisoned baits all over the place - killing every animal or bird that ate another poisoned animal or wolf as well. It was impossible - they developed the smarts necessary to only eat what they killed & never returned to a kill. This occurred after their numbers were reduced to a level that takes 20years to replenish- and replenish it did - by mid 1970's they turned into another scourge. Ranchers and hunters took care of that problem again and it's time to do it again. I have been advised that used properly as in grease balls (frozen hamburger balls), 10/80 will be quite canine specific - dropped from aircraft into the middle of frozen lakes, large snow covered pastures and snow covered fields only. The smaller carnivorous animals like the cats, martin or fishers do not venture out into the wide open areas normally and will not be poisoned. An eagle, if eating a deal wolf, will become sick, not dead and will not eat another poisoned wolf. I am regurgitating what I've learned from those who accomplished some good work. |
