Arrowheads, soaked overnight in a solution of pounded juniper branches (with berries) and water, were said to cause a deer's blood to coagulate when it was wounded so that it couldn't run far. This 'poison' worked effectively, even if the deer were only nicked with the arrowhead. It was said not to affect the edibility of the meat. | Turner, Nancy J., R. Bouchard and Dorothy I.D.
