Poisoning arrows?
Dakotian:
Well it's a good thing I'm not hunting larg game in Africa...next to a Walmart. I would consider my expirments a success if I could kill a bunny or a squirrel with a poisoned dart, that's all I've ever been able to effectively kill with traditonal equipment anyway. Not to mention it makes a very interessting answer to the question "So what have you been up to lately?" And I reckon there are very few people who on this forum who wouldn't want to try this just for the sake of tring it.
Pat, I'm sure deer are indeed able to eat such things, but I'm so sure they didn't have their regrets afterwards.
banoch:
Very interesting AND disturbing all at the same time ;). How would you know if it was the dart/arrow or the poison that caused death?
Hillbilly:
Keep in mind that it is very illegal to hunt with poisoned arrows. A squirrel that you can easily kill without poison isn't worth going to jail over. Plus, what happens when you accidentally poke yourself with one of your arrows?
smokeu:
I got my eyes checked the other day and while waiting i picked up the magazine (Cowboys and Indians) they had an article with some excerts from old publications about NA's poisoning arrows with stuff like yucca plants and such... Mostly a quite silly article. I guess whoevever wrote the article didnt know that yucca is not harmful. Interesting what people thought was factual back then.
Pat B:
If you drink too much tequilla yucca can be poisonous! ;D
