[AT] Got Woodchuck Pills?

[Louis]

We used to be able to buy them from the local county ag agent, here in
Ohio.  I don't if they still carry them.  I quit farming 4 year ago, so
much has changed in those 4 years as to what is available and not
available.

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.
