You eat all my grass and my cows break their legs when they step in your home. Do you think you could move along? Thanks so much, we'll see you later" :lol:

Slow:

How do you irrigate that pasture? I'm sure you're on the edge of runoff. Can't you just double up the water you normally put on it? Make some of that mud you're always stepping in?

Don't have any experience with da dogs but did have moles in the yard. I tried many traps and poisons and - no luck. Then a friend proposed to to gas 'em. We put a vac hose on the tail pipe of a pickup and stuffed it in the run. Let it run 30 min and no more moles!!! had to move it several times to be sure we got all the runs.

I did some poodle shooting for some friends today, we had a blast but gassing has to be more effective.

20 lb propane bottle. Fill hole for a while. Long cannon fuse. Make sure you are not within 100 foot of a building. You don't want to launch a foundation.

Don't fully block the second exit. You want some air flow to allow the gas to move better.

Ah! The same principle as fuel-air explosives, the most powerful non-nuclear weapon in the US Air Force arsenal.

What could possibly go wrong?

I know a guy that about launched his own pickup. He didn't look for the second exit. The path missed the front bumper of his truck by 5'. He did learn to park his truck farther away. :lol:

No it was not me. My self I prefer a 22/250 and a large scope. Reach out and touch as they used to say. A 22 long rifle for short ranges.

I think the colonies on Kirtland AFB are a "protected sanctuary." I didn't realize each tunnel only has two entrances; I thought they were all interconnected with hundreds of entrances/exits. There were times looking across the plain where we'd see a few dozen "targets" sticking their heads up at any given time.

I once remarked that it looked like the place "needs more weasels." Someone from HR heard me, but I think they misunderstood... :lol:
