[AT] Got Woodchuck Pills?

[charlie hill]

My uncle used to use that method for rat control.  He would sit in his feed 
shed on rainy days with a water hose running in one rat hole.  He would 
watch the other holes and shoot the rats with his 16 guage when they ran 
out.  He had a lot of fun doing it but after a while you couldn't talk to 
him about it.  ......... Well you could but you'd have to yell and he would 
say WHAT a lot.
