To my understanding at some point laws were placed to where Joe blow couldn't just go buy it, but if you were a medical professional and had access to it you could use it to hunt.

My dad and my uncles used it a lot in the 70s and early 80s. My dad said he hit a deer in the leg and it ran 40 yards and died. My mom had to bail him and one of my uncles out of jail two weeks after they got married lol. He hunted in the spillway around lottie. Hes got some awesome outlaw stories


Edit: my dad is an animal. My uncle told me my dad bought a recurve and the next day stood on a cypress stump in three rivers and killed a 7 point. Hes 66, benches over 200 for reps, and rides his bike about 100 miles a week. He could sit in front of wal mart and kill a deer.

He got lost last year and we could see his light wandering all over the woods all morning. He climbed a tree after daylight about half a mile from where he was supposed to be (two properties over) and killed this. We told the people whose land he killed it on and they thought it was hilarious.

It works.

CRNA here. It does work. But the old guys used powder form and somehow coated the arrow tips in it. When doing inhalation inductions on kids, we have an im syringe ready to give to break a spasm while we put in the iv. So it’s works fast enough.

my stepdad used them all the time this was in the 90s would put the powder in a balloon on the shaft right behind the broadhead

he was a genuine POS outlaw though

As a kid I remember people talking about using the pods. The question I never asked was if you poison the deer to kill it is the meat still OK to eat? That was always a concern of mine but we didn't bow hunt so not to big of a deal back then.

I remember when I was a kid my dad had just started bow hunting (early 80s). Someone he worked with used it and gave pop some to use. I remember him making my mother and I go into the back of the house while he made the pods up one night because he was scared it may harm us. Years later I talked to him about it and he said he was on his way out of the woods after his first hunt with it and threw them away. Said he was nervous all day toting it around and had enough.

I’m confused. We still use them in Mississippi.

They work great, they don’t run as far is all basically.

Bumping this old thread. Do people still use them? Where can you find these pods....asking for a friend...??
