OK Oz, so now you have me excited here!

I want one of those! Being a conspiracy theorist (and mildly concerned about the prospect of a Govt initiated/caused zombie apocalypse) this would be great located outside my bunker!

Maybe I should have 2 so I'd have a back-up

Quote: we've seen Fisher in our woods but we just give the mean little buggers a wide berth because they are about the only thing that prey on porcupines that kill our trees. Never had one come near the house but then we've made sure there's a good open stretch between us and the woods and there is plenty of other "food" around even in winter so I think they just don't have to risk it.

now we just need nano technology guns to get nematodes, mites and lice as they sneak into the coop

I had to look up a fisher cat.

Good God, the munber of animals that eat poultry in the country seems endless.

You can stuff it and send it to me if you like.

I always wanted a furry pet i could cuddle at night when my less-furry wife is out of country

If you're going to snuggle it wouldn't you prefer it in pelt form over stuffed? Perhaps we can make a trade for some of that oil.

maybe you guys should get one of these for each corner of your coop



the SGR-1 is basically an armed guard robot that can either be column-mounted or attached to a set of tank tracks. It's currently being used to patrol the border between North and South Korea. It comes equipped with a 5.56mm belt-fed machine gun and CCTV / thermal imaging cameras in two independently pivoting groups (secondary camera is used to seek out additional targets)

its only $300,000 each so $1.2 mil and no fisher cats

Seems a bit pricy when I can just sit on the porch with the gun or get it in the trap, get a good nights sleep and then shoot it in the morning.

Don't forget neighbors.

I have cottontail rabbits getting in my garden. I hear they are delicious. I just got a new 12 guage single shot.

I am used to waking up with claws in my back

but I will certainly trade!!

That little gun is perfect for those who have everything - but especially neighbors

Sorry, Oz. We are just not the proud owner of a weasel pelt this morning. The traps are sprung and flipped, however, and the meat in them is shredded. None of this triggered the game cam.

My hens have been so hot and panting like crazy so we got them a pool to cool off in and they love it. I put one in both runs.

That's hilarious looks like your chicken is about to do a cannonball into it.

When my turkeys get hot they go and stand in the middle of the rubber bucket waterer.
