Hunters could run across more that deer this opening weekend
This weekend's deer opener means lots of hunters in the woods and they could find something more than a thirty–point buck. Sheriff Dave Brand said hunters may come across active meth labs or remnants of a lab. Brand said things to look for include ordinary plastic coolers with hoses, L–P gas cylinders, stained coffee filters, lye, iodine, brake cleaner and stained cookware. He said hunters should avoid contact with the items and notify local law enforcement. The meth cooking process involves the use of toxic chemicals which are then discarded. Authorities report the number of active meth labs have gone down in recent years due to more restrictive laws on purchasing ephedrine, a primary ingredient for manufacturing meth.
