the Government is experimenting with poisioning Feral Hogs to control them. At present time it is illegal under federal law to poison Feral Hogs.
so they've come up with a poison the deer wont eat?
The reports I am reading has the bait in a Box with a heavy Lid. A hog can easily lift the lid with there nose and eat the poison. A Deer or Other animals supposedly can't open that box. This is a government study and might take years to be completed. The Main Concerns are just what your question is about. Direct or Secondary consumption by off target prey. In light of the GREEN MOVEMENT today, and the Hunting community I am guess more that the T and I must be crossed or dotted before Hog Poison is made Legal. Then it might be only by permit and treated by Government employee.
BTW Did you read were I said Australia already uses Rat Poison with out much success?? They are not taking all the precaution that we are. I have not heard of any collateral damage to the environment there.
