Yea we tried Tolozol sedation when netting does post rut but then decided that we had about 20-25% aborted fetus so quit.

That's funny but vets like Drs have their quirks, I guess. Bam is just so much cleaner. Several times a bad shot with Tolozol left us with impaired but not sedated deer. Second shot now puts unknown about of drugs in deer.
Then reversal becomes a crapshoot. We ended up under on reversal. So deer comes out of it briefly but then goes down a second time. This could all take several hours.
Same scenario with Bam and this is all done in 30 minutes.
Guess I'm an outlaw, I never had oxygen except on the torch cart in the barn.

We were taught to use Rompun (Xylazine) and Telasol as a combined mixture for whitetails, etc. Then used Tolazoline as the reversal drug. Did you ever do that? Any bad effects? It was always a challenge on dosage per body weight. Seemed like no two animals reacted exactly the same. Did you find that true also?

Yes, exactly. That's why I switched. When they, more often bucks for whatever reason relapsed and layed down or collapsed down, I never saw which, they end up laying wrong and several times it killed them. I used it a bunch but after I tried bam the darting became easier and faster.
I used a Dan inject rifle with 50 cal barrel and Pneudart barbed darts

Not to derail thread. Deerdude, I just sent you some info via PM.
