Adam,
I have a 4500 Kabota and a Club Car (sporting clays conversion) 48 Volt cart I use on the farm. Both have upright rifle racks. With two ponds on the place I shoot turtles on a regular basis to save my fish and last year shot a redwolf while I was drinking my first cup of coffee one morning. I have seen about a half dozen or so yotes, but they see me a long time before I see them and usually are in high gear at a distance before I see them. I will probably start putting out locking snares, so I can remove a pet if it gets caught. A lot of folks in these parts put out poision, but I do not like that approach as it is non selective and some so powerful it even kills buzzards and crows.

My place is a tree farm so it can be thick in places and I have spent two years getting the thick brush cleared between the trees, it was so bad that the burn contractors were afraid to burn the place else it get into a crown fire. So I had long root rake and bush hog deal.

I get to see a good many snakes and keep the good guys moving on, I have about a half dozen big black snakes on the farm, but the copperheads and cottonmouths get shot on sight, I do not like bad actors, those without a warning system. Our cottonmouths are very agressive and if disturbed look for something to bite. The Browning has a fair score on turtles and bad actors. Oh, I also have 5 covies of quail, so the egg eater also go away on sight, coons, armidildos, etc.

I have hogs across the highway and know it is a matter of time before they cross, then we will have a war, me shooting and them dying, but me steady loosing ground. At least we have no season here and I can dispose of them as I wish. But they are unbelieavably destructive. Your place looks like a air strike occoured in just one night.
Ed
