    All:

     

    I know this is a bit confusing, and I'm not the last word on this topic, but if you look at the final rule language it does try to provide clarity. Any time I read any legal contract, I'm amazed at how unclear it is in the process of keeping the legal profession afloat. The last time I rented a car, I think I signed my name more often than when I bought my first house. Nevertheless, in this instance:

     

    The rule specific exempts salt. It doesn't say that salt has to be for the livestock industry, but any type of salt is ok. If it is table salt, it is salt. If it is water softener salt, it is salt.

     

    If it is a salt-based product, then it has to be manufactored for the livestock industry. Mineral licks fall into this category.

     

    Finally, if it is a nutritional supplement that is not a salt-based product for the livestock industry or plain old salt, then it must be placed in the process of the agricultural operation. You can hunt over a molasses wheel if the livestock producer put it out for his cattle.

     

    This was intended to to balance the risks associated with disease transmission and methods that are already in use or practiced for many decades. Salt is quite prevalent on the landscape. Adding more salt simply reduces any concentrations already in existence and already in use. Water and salt are naturallyl occurring. Other baits are not.

     

    I hope this offers some help in interpreting the final rules adopted by the Commission.

    Brian - as a former govt. official who helped craft legislation, I think you guys did a heck of a job. I don't know what isn't clear - that wording is some of the clearest language I have seen. Some people read what they want into it - and that will never change. There is no question in my mind after reading that what I can and can't do.

    maybe this explains the "former"

    Do you want to explain? What isn't clear about it and what does my former service to the public have to do with it?

    I have the late WT tag and after the storm cleared out this AM, I saw one 4x4 Muley with a harem of 5 does and 1 forkie. He was definitely putting the sneak on with his big swollen neck and chasing the does. That was the only life I saw today...guess the Coues took the day off.
