Just pull out your hunting rifle and blast My wife would not approve that i can tell you, I have 3 size hava heart traps for all the different size critters, I did have to euthanize a groundhog once, I couldn't get him to go into the trap no matter what i gave him but he was tearing up the garden. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several years ago, I bought Havahart traps as woodchucks were setting up housekeeping under our shed. Only caught a half-grown 'chuck (transplanted 3/4 mile away), as mom & dad departed once I was in/out of the shed daily. Yesterday I hit the birdfeeder-raiding gray squirrel with a half-charge pellet from my Crossman - classic butt cheek strike, hope he/she remembers it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryslot Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 If we get some of these heavier cells this afternoon, I guess i will get to see where the low spots are and will probably have to fill in and reseed once it dries out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QCD17 Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Only got .15 here from Friday/Saturday. If we're going to be pissing off my hot peppers with these cold temps, it would be nice to at least get a decent soak out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavisStraight Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I've only done two mows but the second one was like cutting a hayfield, every time I had time to do it it either rained or something else came up. My lawn's a little browned now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting for the “leap” from my October glory red maple I planted in summer 2020. It is a healthy looking tree, but just not seeing the growth I thought I’d see this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
