The Problem With Critters

It seems that I have a constant battle with critters.

Rabbits in the garden?  Not so much a problem.  When they reveal themselves in the early morning or at dusk they typically come down with an immediate and fatal case of lead poisoning.  Same for ground squirrels.

Ground hogs are another matter.  If they're under the barn a box of mothballs will generally make them move on.  If they are tunneling in the septic mound - it is a simple matter to get revenge by tossing a smoke bomb down the hole. 

As frustrated and annoyed as it may seem at times it's always useful to know that someone, somewhere, has a bigger critter problem on their hands.

My son-in-law sent me this picture of the critter that has taken-up residence near his sister's yard.

This reptile is 6+ feet in length!
