Too many times someone will post on experiences, remedies, will give their opinions based on what they had been hearing from others, just to have someone read the post and assume that they are being personally attacked. Then the bickering starts. As deer farmers we should be able to come on here tell others of our experiences, and remedies without a all out fight. Some people need to lighten up and quit taking a general post as an all out attack on them.

I am sorry but I must say...Don't put Hot sauce on a butt or anything else...it is also not good for noses and eyes and other buck parts you want to protect...

Any form of pepper burns...being on a Narcotic force I can speak from experience!

Sorry I should have put "I would not"...instead ...of don't

As stated before I feel you are both respectful and value your opinion but feel that a board in between fawns for a short time is a safer fix than any amount of pepper...

I used bitter yuck for dogs a few years ago...They hated the taste and smell but didn't associate it with licking and sucking...

They kept going back for more hated it and went back...



I do apologize if I was out of line...

I would just hate for someone to read that and add more, because if a little works... more is better and that happens a lot on here.
 
Alot of people have opinions on many things here on deerforums. That is what makes it great. Visit past threads on bottle feeding buck fawns, milk replacers, ect. All have great opinions on what they have done and what has worked. I wouldn't pierce my tongue but I won't tell others don't. Use both sides to decide what YOU feel is correct for your situation. So Painted doesn't use pepper he would rather use a board. Great!! I do the same but I will never tell you my way is right. But others probably prefer the other methods for their deer. I know Midwest has been around the block for sometime so he HAS seen just about anything and everything that has been done. I have alot of respect for him but that doesn't mean I will follow as gospel though. I would definately take a great deal of consideration to what he says and way that into the decision I would make.
 
Wow, I really didn't mean to start a huge argument over this. I just decided to separate the little buggers and they have taken it very well. Even though I talked to a few other deer farmers that says the tabasco spray does work, I'm just gonna stick to keepin them separated. I have the capability to do so and will just stick to that. This is my first time doin the bottle feeding, but I have gone through scours and lack of willingness to eat in the buck fawn, but he is up and running like crazy all over the house, and they are only nine days old. The buck fawn just started out real bad because he was the second baby out and his sister seemed to get all the nutrients and that in the womb (she is double the weight and size of him as we speak). But, he is getting stronger and is very alert and jumpy. Thanks again
