I'd like to see this same study conducted on what we consider "regular size" cervidae in this same manner. The fact that 500mg was used in the first study I posted is shocking compared to the minute amount of SCC used with elk...

I work with high pressure piping and valves all day. I know why Skydoc takes a position that throwing powder in a wound won’t lead to good introduction to the circulatory system. Pressure is pushing out, not in…

This is why I was trying to get him to war game with me on how that doesn’t square with lots of experiences.

I suspect part of that is that some parts of the circulatory system are pulling and some are pushing. And part of it is the mind blowingly small dose required to immobilize a deer. And other factors were not considering.

I’m fully open to rednecks being full of crap. But I remain skeptical.
 
I’m not sure I wanna handle one of these arrowheads While suspended 30 feet in the air from a saddle. Just imagine being mildly paralyzed in the saddle with a fully functional brain that’s incredibly frustrated because it can’t convince its hand to reach into a pocket to access a
Phone and call for help.
 
All of our ancestors were primitive, nomadic, hunter-gatherers if you go back far enough. I'm rice on a paper plate in a blizzard white, but my ancestors speared mammoths and Irish elk.
I was just about to respond similarly:
All of us have indigenous ancestry
 
Why?

Also, I nominate @Reagan H. for 2023 Saddlehunter of the Year consideration.

Because one of the argument for pod ethicality is that the animal die faster and less painful. But from the anecdote of Mr. Bear and this research experiment saying that it does not block out the pain receptors and the animals are dying a painful death. Does that not counter it own argument that its more humane? One of the argument for having the sharpest broad head as possible is that a clearer cut been argued to be less painful. That deer don't feel a lot of pain after the initial damage. If given the choice between a longer painless suffocation by a collapsed lungs or 20 minutes paralysis AND painful nerve damage, I would pick the collapsed lungs.
