problems

I have been having trouble darting my deer lately, getting several bounce outs which in return some of my deer are getting really difficult to dart, any help to dart them easier or to prevent bounce outs would be great thank you.

Has anyone had problems with the pneu-dart x-caliber? My gun will often shoot "duds". Will have it dialed up for, say, 30 yards. pull the trigger and it shoots about 15-20 yards. After it does that I can dial it way up, shoot nothing but air, and then it will function normally. I have changed...

I have a doe that is having some problems that I haven't seen before. She had some discharge from her nose and was foamy around her mouth. I have her 2cc of Draxxin and 5cc of steroid treatment. Seemed to help for a day or two but now she has a foamy mouth again. She has lost weight and will...

Below is a copy and paste of an email sent to me. Can anyone help them out? They read the forums but don't know how to post. If you have ideas post them below. Thank you. We have fawns with white smelly scours at week 3 of age then die within 5-7 days, we think ecoli they are on the mom...

Good morning, I pulled my triplet doe fawns last night around 7:00 p.m., lots of bleating at 5:30 this morning, but won't volunteer to take bottle. I have regular baby bottles (for human) and Pritchard nipple bottles and can't get more than 1/2 oz-1 oz into each fawn, with the Pritchard...

Good afternoon my fellow deer farmers, hope your fawning season is starting off right.  I've ran into an issue with a doe I AI'ed.   She is do May 20, @ 180 days, She looks breed but not as big as a couple of the others.  All winter she has kind of been light on her front feet but the last few...

Has anyone had any problems with reversing their deer? I have been darting does and fawns for the past week. Sorting fawns, tagging and vaccinating does and inserting cidr's or putting them in their breeding pens. The first round of deer went well...no problems. When I started the...

I am wondering if any of my fellow deer farmers have ever had the same problems we have with vultures and raccoons. Last year, one of our newborn fawns was yanked through the fence by a raccoon and began eating upon it. Then, also last year, our Albino Doe had 2 fully Albino Buck fawns and...

What I am asking for here is Look at things as an outsider. POST THINGS AT PRESERVES YOU HAVE SEEN THAT MAY NEED A SECOND THOUGHT ABOUT HOW IT'S DONE.... I have seen thing at Preserves I HATE... These Are personal feeling and just made as observations... I hate seeing Pet/tame...

This year we have had to take 6 fawns out of our pens because their mothers would not take care of them. When we would bring them in we would feed them and then after that they will get the hiccups. Then after this they will stop eating. They become weak quickly. They will stand up but hold...

Anyone ever have any trouble with Probios (probiotics) powder. Seems like when I add this powder even in little amounts to the milk my fawsn start to develop the runs.....has anyone else ever had this problem??:confused:

Has anyone here had any problems with Turkey Buzzards(Vultures)? I have a friend who has had them kill perfectly healthy fawns. This is done in a very short time. It is impossible to watch the enclosure all the time. Just looking for some advice so that it does not happen again this fawning...

I got ready to dart some deer today with my Pneu-dart model 193, shoots 22 blanks. I checked my gun at 50 yards and was a little left..ok. I checked it at 60 yards and was low, second shot low, third shot hit home. OK so far never shot it at 60 before. That was the last of that lot of 22 shells...

His teeth in the front are all loose, and looks like they are going to fall out, but are attached good...
