296: Darting Moose Doesn't Always Work

In this episode, host Nick Madsen shares his experience using the drug BAM to chemically immobilize animals. He recounts a situation where they had to immobilize a moose trapped in a facility. Despite their efforts, the moose did not cooperate and ran away. Nick discusses the challenges they faced, including the weather conditions and the possibility of issues with the drug mixture. He also explains the process of darting animals and the importance of air pressure. The episode ends with plans to continue the operation and a reminder to be cautious when working with immobilization drugs. Takeaways

• BAM (Butyrophanol Azaperon Metatomidine) is a drug used for immobilizing animals.
• Weather conditions, such as cold temperatures and snow, can affect the effectiveness of immobilization drugs.
• Darting animals requires careful consideration of air pressure and range finding.
• Nighttime darting is not recommended due to the uncertainty of dart placement.
