[AT] Real farmers problems - adiscussionoflanduserelatedtofarming - wasfuel problemsgetexpensive-perspectivesandreactions

[Rupert]

	The simple solution to control beaver, coyotes and any other fur 
bearing animal is to convince the Europeans to bring back the fur trade. 
Remember beaver, fox, mink, deer, moose, Elk, Bison and others roamed 
freely all across most parts of North America.
