We will use the heck out of it, so yes. Hopefully, it is a one time purchase.

OK, done deal. Should be delivered next couple weeks. I ended up doing OK, I think. The condition is not 100% "as new" and that was reflected in our offer. We offered 18% off what we calculated as MSRP plus additional options, reflecting the new old stock issue. It is hard to say where we ended...

Sounds perfect to me. You had to hunt hard enough to make it feel like hunting, but not too rough on you! The young ones are really good eating.

I see trap thefts all the time, probably 20 this summer, there are usually signs - most often a head and spine left since the trap has a good hold, but always at least blood and hair and guts from pulling them out of the trap or eating them in the trap. Whatever has been doing it has tripped...

Got this pic this morning, I assume it is my prairie dog trap tripper, but you would think he would learn. This guy was too cute not to post.

I don't need you two ganging up on me with good ideas. I was thinking some sort of little dog like a terrier, but that thing would probably dig holes worse than the badger. I'd be fixing dog diggings, not vermin diggings. The vermin don't seem too hard to temporarily eradicate, it is that the...

You and me both on understanding the maze. They are sneaky bastards, I had them all gone from an acre pasture in Sept and holes filled, but the holes are all open now. Watching their digging they can smell a hole from above and then open it up, once inside they open all the entrances from below...

I'm trying to get a handle on controlling them so I can keep their numbers down in the horse pastures when we have horses. I've tried shooting, filling their holes, trapping, smoke bombs, etc... AND explored in my head trying some explosives, filling the holes with spray foam, and building a...

Northern Hairy-nosed chupacabra here.

That is the exact angle I'm holding to with comparing with new MSRP, I know I could build a new one and get at least 5% off MSRP, which is where we are at with this one. They don't have it in hand, so there is transport, but I think there will be room. There is a great financing deal involved...

Thanks Ed for the research, they are proud of them and I hope it pans out. The sales guy is just relaying what he was told on the condition of the machine. I told him that I'd refuse it on delivery if it didn't live up to expectations as far as condition and he was not concerned. I'll get...

At some point, hopefully. It needs to happen, but would be a luxury this year. I'd like a limit of ducks hanging from the pallet forks.

You joke, but I spent an hour today filling prairie dog holes and larger holes something unknown opened up. I put two trailcams up because whatever it is is tripping my prairie dog traps and not getting caught. Probably a chupacabra. Will provide pics if I get them. I don't need a tractor, I...
