[QUOTE="stocky, post: 245745, member: 1150"] I use the Cap-Chur gun and Pneu-dart disposable darts for calves and cows when i use micatil for cows or calves or baytril for small calves. I use the darts when I tranquilize a cow to work on her pinkeye or foot problems. Using the gun to treat respiratory problems saves the excitement of getting an animal into a pen. Many times the cattle are in a place where it isnt possible to get them up to doctor them. The simple way to do it is to drive the pickup or 4 wheeler up within 30 yards of the animal and shoot it from the seat. They are used to the pickup and 4 wheeler and they dont associate the dart with the truck. If you walk up to them and shoot them, they will be wary of you in the future. The gun and darts have saved the lives of countless animals over the years and my father, who is limited in his mobility can doctor anything with the dart gun, whereas he would be unable to doctor anything without it. It takes about half the price of a yearling calf to pay for the gun, lose one calf and you could have bought 2 guns with what you lost. [/QUOTE]
