Yesterday I heard from a pretty reliable source that feed was being put out for hogs to make them sterile. The gentleman told me that other animals such as deer were also consuming the product and becoming sterile as well. This seems farfetched and unlikely but the guy was convinced it was the truth and said its what's been causing the decrease in Catoosa's numbers.
Seriously, is there any truth to it?

I'd figured this was a load of bull but sometimes I am gullible. Should have known better.

Classic.
If only they'd make candy bars for people who vouch for stories like this.
And when I say "candy bars", I mean special TWRA candy bars...

Don't feel bad Carlos......I have heard the same thing. I knew better, but I just smiled and nodded, because the people spreading that rumor will not listen to facts, no matter who they come from.
