Wow. Mud? I guess you work with what you got, did you end up with a nasty infection?

I actually always used corn starch, not flour. I guess thats what I was taught. Either way, a thickening agent of some kind is important. Especially if you hunt around barbed wire.

We have some of that powdered blood clotting stuff, can remember what its called. We had to break down and buy a bottle, one of our bluedogs is accident prone. I told my boyfriend that would should just start calling her crash. I dont know if I like the stuff that well though, she tore the tip of her ear off a while back and we dipped it in that stuff, but as soon as she shook her head it was bleeding again.

How much do you give per pound of the acepromazine?

Was it NFZ powder in a yellow bottle? That is what we use.. Work on pink eye for cows, as an antibiotic and works to clot blood.. Where ever Brisco goes, a bottle goes with him..

I swear that accidents just look for him, then see, him, jump him and beat the hell out of him :roll:
