[QUOTE="LivestockConcepts, post: 940977, member: 19013"] can you get within 100ft of the animals? or even closer say with a pickup or 4-wheeler? Then that Pneu-dart Pump up or CO2 rifle using Draxxin or Zactran will work great, and they run about $315, with the darts being approx $4-$5. No fire-arms license required, easy to use. Otherwise if you can get within 45ft or less, even driving through them with a pickup, you can use a Medi-Dart CrossBow. They will allow you to use the cheaper/higher volume medicines, like Nuflor, La-300, Tylan, Penicillin, since they will hold up to 30cc of medicine, They are Re-usable darts, and are air-powered, so you just fill the syringe, with Your choice of Meds, pump up the tail piece with a little pump (provided) like pumping a basketball, Lay the dart in the crossbow and shoot. There is a little guard around the needle that when it hits they animal, the guard is pushed back, allowing the air to push the medicine forward, the meds are administered approx 10cc/second, then when the meds are gone, the guard will push the dart back out of the animal. You can pickup the dart (it's bright orange, so easy to find) reload it, and go treat another one. A complete kit, with everything you need including 3 needles, and 2 complete darts is about $385.00 free shipping in the us. This may give you a couple options, without breaking the bank. [/QUOTE]
