re: Controlling wild hogs

Here we go...this thread will get interesting.

The amount of sodium nitrite used to kill hogs is extremely low compared to what the FDA allows in food for human consumption. Studies have shown that lethal doses to hogs will not kill vultures because it is neutralized quickly by enzymatic activity.

Yes, there are some potential impacts to wildlife like deer and raccoons. That is why the delivery system is important. If it can be delivered in a way that limits non-target impacts, this can be a huge game-changer in the fight against feral hogs. But that's a big "IF".
