    Hey Brian, thanks for the update. It is good news your place seems to be in the clear and also the ranch to your west. What is the G7 you talk about? is it already in the protein? Who is the maker? Thanks for all your information.


    It’s antlers plus with G7 additive.

We went ahead and put out a bunch of the protein with the G7 additive. It can’t hurt at this point. I talked to the rancher that borders our west side and he hasn’t seen any signs yet. Everyone says it’s pretty bad further down 189 so maybe it’s just a matter of time before it gets us. Fingers crossed! We got all our cameras going so we can take a better census labor day weekend.

        I have no idea if this right, but the best i could gather on a G7 additive is that it is antibody that keeps the anthrax bacteria from absorbing iron in its host which it needs to survive. Again not sure if this is right but its what i could gather after researching a couple articles at work

            We lost a few deer but the rancher vaccinated and livestock loss was minimal. He doesn’t think we were hit very hard as he hasn’t see many carcasses. A small outbreak wouldn’t hurt us as we have been trying to get our deer numbers down the last few years. We hunt a very large ranch with minimal pressure.

              I emailed Sportsman’s Choice about the G7 additive they use. Here’s the response.

                            If it stops we will be ok. Any more it will be a rough season.

                              So if the Anthrax is in the dirt and the animals are picking it up while eating.....

                              Am I doing a disservice / promoting it by throwing corn in the off season?

                              The deer are having to pick up scraps of corn the pigs leave behind (disturbing the soil themselves) but I do have some on camera.

                                Anthrax is carried up and out of the soil mechanically by plant growth. The animals eat the plants and ingest it. Then, they die and decompose, leaving a big pile of spores to filter down into the soil and wait there until the next time conditions are right. Then, plants grow where that deer died and carry the spores up for the next animal to come along and eat. I wouldn't worry about running a feeder. If your place gets hit it gets hit.
