[AT] Got Woodchuck Pills?

[carl gogol]

I originally titled this "got any Woodchuck Bombs" but the message has not 
made it to the list in over two days, so I'll make the title a bit more 
"home land Security friendly". :-).  since then I have seen Cecil's note on 
not being able to send anything and since I to have Road runner I am less 
concerned that I am tripping up the forces of security.
I found out this AM that the local farm co-op in Deruyter, NY cannot 
purchase / sell woodchuck "bombs" - since about the first of the year. 
These are the small toxic gas producing cartridges that are dropped down a 
hole and do their job underground.  Is this the case in other states like PA 
or OH too?  If they are still available in OH, I could find some when we 
visit our son.
 I have a few nasty woodchucks on the edge  of the garden, but even more 
important, there are dwellers in several old  holes that are reducing the 
local rabbit and field mouse population to zero.  My neighbor and I went
 rabbit hunting about 3 weeks ago and the dogs kicked up nothing, in fact 
they kind of looked at us like they wanted to ask us,  "why are we hunting 
here, where there is nothing to hunt"?  The light snow over Thanksgiving
confirmed that an area that normally has millions of  rabbit tracks was 
positively without any.  No amount of hunting could ever reduce the 
population to that level!
We used these on the farm to control the rodents and not ruin the haying 
equipment by running their excess burrow material through the hay crusher - 
pulled with now antique tractors like a JD-60 or AC D-17 this is a shameless 
tractor reference to sanitize this post.
