ANTLER DAMAGE and daily tstorms

[majicmaker]

I'm having the same issue with a plain ol' lawn. 100' x 100' is all there is, but I can't mow it. Half of it's under water, and the other half is under oak trees whose leaves are covering and killing the grass. So I'm losing half the yard, and the other half is 3 feet high and under water. Haven't had 2 consecutive dry days since late June!

No critter problems, though. Except frogs! Have to wear earplugs to sleep through the noise!

Walter. I'm on 250' x 250' and my biggest problem is 7' snakes. If I see one, it's caught and dead in minutes! Just like Pirates in London back in the day. I make a little noose and hang them by the neck From a tree branch so All of his little friends could say: Holy ****!! This guy is a Freakin' Nut!! Let's move next Door!! :lol:

Please don't be too hard on me! There is ONE cat living at my wife's house (outside) and she has been spayed. Once the population has gotten out of hand there is no more humane way to thin it down. Dropping them off to go hungry or become someone else's problem is both cruel and cowardly. Bringing them to the pound has almost the same effect as killing them yourself, except that now it's someone else's problem again. Also cowardly. I agree with you that it is best to avoid the issue to begin with by spaying or neutering. And no I don't enjoy killing things. I'd rather avoid it entirely. When you have strays at the house that some other inconsiderate sack of *%#& drops off for you to deal with, the problem becomes yours. When these "pets" are killing the wild rabbits that come into the back yard in the evenings it becomes a matter of who belongs and who does not.

<sigh>

Abandoned buildings, barns, garbage dumps and the local animal shelters here are lousy with colonies of feral cats. I absolutely agree with you. Sadly, they didn't start out feral; they started, as you point out, as kittens and no-longer wanted cats having been "dropped off" .

Do what you feel you have to do But don't make it sound like a sport. And be damned good and sure you're good at it so they don't crawl off to "rot in an inconvenient spot".

Thank you for your response, Red. I get excited about abuse / cruelty- real or perceived - when it comes to critters (and kids)

Based on this post and the pictures that I saw posted of you in another thread, I am pretty sure I am falling in love with you.

don't look at me. i simply included a variable. what others put there is between you and them.

Just for future reference, THESE:

Are very good at helping with THESE:

Not that I would condone that kind of thing, but I'm just sayin'

Less noise, less mess with these

IF I was to choose such a method of population control.

With stories like this I find these

not quite so annoying. They even get along with the yardbirds.

I could drop a dime in the antler hole and it would fall all the way to the patch.

So I got a tire putty kit

It's like rubber epoxy.

After

There is enough compound in the kit to make a wad the size of a softball. I just used a golfball's worth. If anybody needs to fix a divot in an off-road low-speed tire, pay the shipping out, use what you need and send the rest back.

Dry some of those shrooms out and bring'em with ya to EOM. I'll take all ya got :blink: :crazy:

I'm just over an hour away from EOM2012. Every attendee is welcome to stop by and take home some

Or some

Also available but not pictured Kudzu, fireants, and ragweed.

You have taught me something useful about the tire repair. I was unaware of this vulcanizing epoxy. I dread the day that I cut one of my tractor tires, I know it's coming though. I don't even know how much they cost, but it can't be cheap. Thanks for the lesson.

Along those same lines.... I once heard someone say that "This wine is pretty good stuff, once you start drinking it" Rumor has it I heard this at Ray's place, more prophetic words were never spoken!

 

[Redfish Hunter]

In all truth, that particular bottle of wine is well out of my price range. MEM seems like Dom Perrignon, I can barely afford Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill. And while I don't know her personally, I will go on the assumption that she has too much class for any off-color comments from me. Those of you who know her, obviously have more leeway on what you can and can't say.

:lol: That wine was all of 10 bucks - and that's convenience store price so it was likely jacked up

Who the heck doesn't like Dom? But how'd you figure that I, in particular, like it?

Regarding off-coloUr comments....bring it, baby :assassin:

I'll take this guy!! :wub:

Your Dad earned our thanks as well. Was he on the raid? On the ground or air?
