I would be very fearful of trying to drug one of these things for a number of reasons. 1. Dosage is mass dependent and type dependent. Not going to be a very accurate calculation. 2. Whatever you use, it can't be the same stuff used on other animals that in turn you must track long distances before it drops - these critters can cover some country fast. 3. This thing is not a dumb animal. I say it's 50/50 that you aren't immediately attacked by the one you hit with the tranquilizer - with ill intent. 4. I'm contrary to many here, as I'm saying that these things are usually NOT alone. You drug one, the other(s) may pull your head off or slam you up against a tree and crush you. And THEN pull you apart. 5. If you had some "habitat," after one gets tranquilized, you'll never see them on friendly terms ever again.

IMO, the fatal flaw of the OP premise is asking those with alleged long-term interaction/witnessing events to somehow manipulate what is arguably a unilateral arrangement in that these entities are the ones initiating the contact, maintaining the contact and therefore dictating the terms and conditions. The OP is apparently under the impression these people have some sort of automatic control over the situation. I am aware of one particular "habber" that claimed such authority which was subsequently determined to be false prophesy. I am also of the opinion many skeptics are their own fatal flaw creators in that most are operating with a foregone conclusion and expending much effort in trying to back into such by dismissing the other side, sans proving their own. As in most of things in this life, the actual truth is often found somewhere near the median.

Hmmm... So I guess that's 40 we owe them for what Smeja did.

I'm not afraid right now but if I tried drugging one, yep, I would be then 'cause I would have just ended the truce such as it was and declared war on something I can't negotiate with. MIB
