[AT] Combine Attack

[Mark Johnson]

We used to keep a .22 pistol on the tractor we used for mowing and 
utility work like towing wagons and carrying fence-fixing tools. I only 
ever tried to use it once - caught a rather large groundhog away from 
his den. Unfortunately, he got into his 'back door' before I could get a 
good line on him - chased him around for 20-30 seconds before he ducked 
underground.
