I hope you're joking, Dan, and that you'd really try to get a

But if you're NOT joking, I would just advise you not to
try shooting dogs in our neck of the woods.

I can guarantee a pellet rifle works wonders. Does good with stray mutts
too.

You might live in the woods, but not near livestock. Strays running
stock are always put down. Somehow, those misguided cattle farmers
think beeves are more valuable than somebody's unwanted pet gone
feral. I've known ranchers to pay to have the stray dogs killed.
None, not one, of my dogs has ever run loose for longer than it took
me to catch it. Oh, and you cat lovers out there...it's a PET leash
law, so tie 'em up or reclaim 'em from the pound and pay the fine on
the way in.

The squirrels here the my neighborhood have suddenly decided they like to
eat my coax and control cables. They seem to be particularly attracted to
the self-vulcanizing rubber used to seal the connections but they have eaten
some coax cables as well. Anyone know of a cure for this problem?

Thanks

Go back a bit to the 'Old Coax' thread. Someone recommended cutting three
or so feet off each end of the old stuff. See if you can get those 'end'
cuts, and use them as bait in squirrel traps!

Here in Delaware the season on squirrel is in late September early October

unless you are a farmer, living on a farm that provides a substantial
portion of your income it would get to be awfully expensive to shoot
squirrels, and get caught at it. There is an exception to most game laws
for farmers in the State - but thinking about it now it might just be an
exception from a license, not seasons.

That's one of those "it all depends".

Here in Michigan the farmer does not need to purchase a small game
license to hunt on his own land. For deer, he does.

If in the specific case of critters destroying crops as in major
damage they can apply for permits to hunt them. Those permits are
usually issued after a visit from the DNR (in some cases)

Unfortunately coax doesn't count, but some department of Natural
Resources (or what ever they are called in your neck of the woods)
will help you live trap them for relocation.

Dear Ed:
On my farm, varmints are shot on sight. There is no component of
hunting or enjoyment or torture. It is a matter of stopping theft and
the real danger that their holes present to livestock, humans, and even
farm machinery. (I have a nasty scar on my shin due to a plunge into a
woodchuck hole.) They also pose a danger to drainage systems.
I have never shot at a squirrel. They are very rare here and just
not a problem. Woodchucks and deer are the major problems. Deer cause
hundreds of accidents, some quite serious, per year in this county

You want a thrill...I was landing my airplane ( a 3100#, High
performance/complex/retractable at the Gladwin Airport (GDW) one night
when a big doe decided she wanted to be on the other side of the
runway

http://www.rogerhalstead.com/833pics.htm (bout 243K)

The mains had just touched down the nose gear was still up when she
charged across. Her head hit the underside of the leading edge of the
right wing about 2 feet out from the fuselage. Just about inside the
prop circle.

The impact drove her head down and then the right main hit her with
the wheel running over. It tore the gear doors right off and busted
the stainless steel brake line.

All this at something like 70 MPH drove the right wing up and of
course the left wing down. The wing tip was probably within 3 or 4
inches of hitting the runway. I could see the runway lights above it
as I was watching out of the corner of my eye.
I managed to maintain control, riding down the runway on the left
main only. I didn't even know if I had a right main still attached.
I kept it on one wheel as long as possible and then the right main
settled onto the pavement. ( Yippie! I had one!)

Now I was riding on both mains with the nose gear still up in the
air...I didn't know if I had one of those either. Fortunately I did
and the roll out was uneventful...other than I discovered that broken
brake line which resulted in only having brakes on the left side.

Between the brake line, tire, gear doors, hinges and a very small dent
on the underside of the leading edge the freight came to a bit over
$5,600. Those little tiny stamped hinges for the gear doors are $480
each.

They said it was either the third or fourth deer airplane accident in
the previous two weeks.

Someone who took delight in torturing anything would be a pariah in
this most rural and tolerant township. That is just not on.

Heh! As one of the veterns of the squirrel versus human wars, I tried
the live trap route, and it doesn't work at all. You might catch one,
but that's about it. Here in the squirrel capital of central PA, we have
dozens of the little buggers. I had to seal up every opening in my
house, and seal the corner molding on my vinyl siding. Brats would climb
up there and munch a hole into the attic. Then they got in through the
triple walled chimney. I found that by chance. So I had to put wire
cloth on that. But wattya do about the ones who already got into the
attic? I made an escape route by drilling a hole in the side of the
house entering into the attic, and put a long narrow box over it so that
would jump out when they got thirsty and hungry enough. We're at a
standoff for the moment......
