Mark, et all
The last time I did black powder for deer & hogs was at the Three Lakes Management Area in Central Florida,, Just South of the Orlando area.
They limit access, ONE GATE. The F&G team counted all in and out and did "samples" of all game taken. You could not gut in the field. You had to wait until you came out.
Anyway, the F&G insisted that you wear gloves and immediately washed after gutting because ALL the pigs had blood born pathogens that were very nasty. Kidney & liver failure if not treated properly.
As I remember we were given a slip of paper and told to hand it to the ER doc if we came down with Cold like symptoms??
We were told it is hot weather problem and generally does not bother hogs from cold climate areas?? It was not trichinosis, but a viral/bacterial type.
Watching the F&G guys & gals take liver & gal bladder samples like it was a big city operating room made me a little leery??
Do you have the same warnings??
