"There is no baiting program planned for Huron-Bruce but one is being developed for more easterly areas," Mr. Pegg says. The substance in which the vac- cine is being placed is an icing sugar and marshmallow mixture. "If a hunter is trying to trap rac- coons, they should try that combi- nation," he jokes. "People should be aware these animals are running around" and be cautious.
