The Scourges of Summer Hunting
There are a number of potential hazards, pitfalls and some downright scary situations which anyone heading afield in the summer should be aware of.
Will Texas Use Poison to Eradicate Hogs?
Sid Miller, Texas Department of Agriculture (DOA) commissioner, proposed a change to the Texas Administrative Code in an attempt to control the 5 million feral hogs in the state. The destructive hogs are estimated to cause upwards of $52 million in damages a year in Texas alone, and Miller suggested using poison, specifically Kaput Feral Hog Lure, a bait mixed with the blood thinner warfarin that is normally reserved for humans but happens to be lethal to pigs.
How to Identify Poisonous Plants
The most common culprits are poison ivy, poison oak and poison sumac, which are abundant in the Lower 48 and cause allergic skin reactions in millions each year.
