best ting I have ever used for cocci is toltrazuril, it is a 1 dose treatment not 10.

Slim, I am one of those guys that will drive to him from pearsall. Excellent Vet. But I also used to drive to weimer to buy dog food. Back then I could buy 50 lbs  of 26-18 for 8.00. now I pay 27.00.

any fireants ?

the authorities need to make certain that they follow label instructions for using it because there will not be many that will follow label instructions

thanks I will check

What is tomorrow?  I have to use a buster collar if I stitch or staple or they will remove them.

these gators are not on the end of a line! had a buddy lose a good dog to one.     your welcome

Used to hunt there a lot. had a ranch down there we hunted but the oil boom put an end to that and a death in the family caused the ranch to be divide and we gave it up. ditto on what jhs said. we caught some good hogs there.  depending on where you hunt be careful of gators. Choke Canyon lake is in Mc Mullin county and has a lot of gators. Also check the tanks for gator sign because they travel and sometimes are in the tanks. If you use atv make certain you have good tires because the terrain is tough on tires.

H.B. 3451, by Rep. Stucky, supported by “Don’t Poison Texas” coalition, Receives 9-0 Vote from House Public Health Committee

[AUSTIN] The Public Health Committee of the Texas House of Representatives has voted 9-0 (with two members absent) to move H.B. 3451 to consideration of the full House. This legislation would require valid and independent scientific study before rat poison or any other toxic pesticide is spread across Texas lands for use on feral hogs. 124 members of the House have now signed onto the Bill as authors or coauthors.

House author, Representative Lynn Stucky (R-Denton), issued the following statement:

“We are very pleased to have this unanimous vote in the Public Health Committee. This bill has overwhelming support in the House of Representatives with 124 members of the House signed on as authors or coauthors. We are looking forward to a quick, overwhelming vote on the House floor.

All of us want the strongest possible steps to control feral hogs in Texas, but using a poison like warfarin that has never been subjected to an independent scientific study in Texas for use on feral hogs is the wrong way to go. We should study first, before poisoning.

Veterinarians frequently treat animals that have been poisoned by warfarin-based poisons, and we see the damage it can cause, including massive internal hemorrhaging and excruciating pain for the poisoned dog or other animal.
In short, these are serious issues that require serious study in the real-world conditions of Texas. That hasn’t happened, but this bill will make sure that it does, in order to protect humans, pets, livestock, wildlife, and Texas lands.”

Representative Stucky is a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and a licensed veterinarian. The 3,700-member Texas Veterinary Medical Association supports the legislation.
The label on the warfarin-based poison in issue (Kaput®) states, among other things: “Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Keep away from humans, domestic animals and pets. This product may be toxic to fish, birds and other wildlife. Dogs and other predatory and scavenging mammals and birds might be poisoned if they feed upon animals that have eaten the bait.”
Scott Dover, President of Texas Hog Hunters Association, said that “It is well known that feral hogs can travel over 5 miles a day. Thus, hogs poisoned on one ranch can die on another ranch miles away. We do not want ranches to unnecessarily become involuntary graveyards for poisoned feral hogs. But if poison is used, hunters and trappers won’t kill or trap hogs—we’ll end up with more hogs, not less, in Texas. We hope that these bills pass quickly.”
Lynn Cuny of Texas Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation added: “This poison has never been tested on most species in Texas. But we do know that its effects vary widely from species to species. We should have independent, scientific studies before it is used across Texas lands.”
Senator Kirk Watson introduced the companion bill in the Texas Senate. He said, “I congratulate Representative Stucky and the House Public Health Committee. This bill also has strong bipartisan support in the Senate, and we look forward to quick action in the Senate as well.”

Don’t Poison Texas is a broad-based coalition of ranchers, veterinarians, hunters, wildlife specialists and property owners opposed to spreading warfarin-based poisons across Texas lands until independent, valid scientific studies are conducted to assess the risks to humans, livestock, wildlife, and the environment. Other groups supporting H.B. 3451 and S.B. 1454 include the Texas Veterinary Medical Association, Texas Wildlife Association, Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation, Texas Hog Hunters Association, Sierra Club, Environmental Defense Fund, Texas State Rifle Association.

Press Release
Texas Hog Hunters Association
March 2, 2017


This afternoon, State District Judge Jan Soifer issued a temporary restraining order enjoining Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller and the Texas Department of Agriculture from implementing the “emergency rule” that they had issued to try to facilitate the use of rat poison across Texas lands for feral hogs. Specifically, Judge Soifer’s Order stated in part that Defendants Sid Miller and the Department “did not follow the requirements of the Texas Administrative Procedure Act . . . and so therefore the rule is invalid.”

The Plaintiff in the case was Wild Boar Meats, L.L.C, a feral-hog processing business headquartered in Hubbard, Texas. The Texas Hog Hunters Association (THHA) and the Environmental Defense Fund also intervened in the case on the side of Wild Boar Meats.

Eydin Hanson, Vice President of THHA, said “15,000 members and supporters of THHA have signed a petition against this ill-advised rule. Spreading rat poison across Texas lands would hurt Texas hunters, Texas hunting-supply businesses, Texas feral-hog meat processing businesses, Texas ranchers, and the Texas environment. We are very grateful that Judge Soifer ruled in our favor. We hope that Commissioner Miller will now follow the law and allow public comment and careful consideration before proposing use of any poison on feral hogs. The emergency rule would have damaged feral-hog control in Texas rather than helping it. We urge all Texans to contact their elected representatives to make sure that Texas lands are not poisoned in this manner.”

Smart people in La. I may have to travel to La to hunt because I am not hunting in any area that puts it out if I can find out where it is used! If you are a restricted use pestice license holder (most farmers and ranchers in Texas are) they an put it out and no one will know where and when.

Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller on Tuesday will announce approval of a new weapon in the ongoing war against feral hogs in Texas.

Miller has approved a rule change in the Texas Administrative Code that classifies a new warfarin-based product as a state-limited-use pesticide for control of feral hogs. State-limited-use pesticides may only be bought and used by a licensed applicator or someone under the direct supervision of a licensed applicator. The pesticide, “Kaput Feral Hog Lure,” is the first toxicant to be listed specifically for use in controlling the feral hog population.

“Wild hogs have caused extensive damage to Texas lands and loss of income for many, many years,” Miller said in a news release. “I am pleased to announce that the ‘feral hog apocalypse' may be within Texans’ reach with the introduction of Kaput’s hog lure.”





Introducing warfarin as the first pesticide available to control the feral hog population is significant because it gives agriculture producers and landowners in Texas a new weapon in the fight against feral hogs with minimal risk to other animals. According to experts familiar with the issue, warfarin is a logical choice for hog toxicant, because it is effective in swine but requires much higher dosage levels to potentially affect other wildlife populations or livestock. The Texas A&M Agrilife Extension Service is supportive of the rule change and the use of warfarin for feral hog population control.

Miller has informed the Legislature that $900,000 in TDA’s budget previously earmarked for feral hog control research will no longer be necessary as a result of this rule change and has asked that the appropriation be removed from the current TDA budget pending before the Legislature.

The manufacturer of the product, Scimetrics Ltd. Corp., has been manufacturing rodent management products for 15 years. Extensive testing of warfarin has been conducted in Texas since 2008. The approval of warfarin for feral hog control is the culmination of several years of research in partnership with Scimetrics and TDA. A representative from Scimetrics will also be on hand to take questions regarding the product.

You kin to Russell?

Still a good one. I caught 3 with him Sunday evening.

Red, yellow, blue, purple, and oh yes brindle it doesn't matter to me. However I have caught a lot of pigs in the last 30 yrs with BMC's. I have had all colors.

Good. That is one thing I don't want to be accused of. haha

My pups mama?

sounds to me like coccidiosis.  there is a med you can buy online called toltrazunil 5 percent. used mainly in horses that is excellent on cocc  I give it to my puppies when their eyes open at .1 cc per lb.  I have found that most of my problems at the kennels on puppies is related to cocci. Do your research on the med and see if it is something you can use. Albon is the standard treatment for cocci and is Rx only.I like the Toltra because you only have to give it once not for 10 days.

Did you work one of my pups? They should be getting close. lol

It's simple. Feed them a constant supply of pigs and if you like what they do keep him if not cull him. You cannot ever predict how the genes will match up. Too many possibilities.
