Bad news.... we had big storms here today and the wife left the box of seeds on the back pourch. The heavy wind blew open the door and took it right off. The box blew off the picnic table and fell on the floor which was actually a big puddle of water. Everything is drenched and when we returned home we had three squirels eating the seeds. I got ouit the shot gun and blew two of them away with one shot. Some of the seeds prob would have been ok but when I shot the squirels I also took out a 5 gallon gas can that was a couple feet behind them. The 5 gallons of gas saturated the water and surely saked into the seeds. Well I picked up the box and set its blood and gas soaked contents back on the table I accidently set it to close to the gas lantern (had a lantern because the power was still out) and guess what happened next.... yes I tripped on a dead squirel and fell into the picnic table and the lantern fell onto the box spilling its Karoseen and fire onto the seeds. Sorry to say I think the are all a loss.

If it takes three shots, a rock, a stick, and then a knife to take down a large target like a deer I seriously doubt he could hit a squirrel...well, maybe if he was aiming at something else.....

Wow, two squirls from one and card seed errors!!! Will tha madness ever end..LOL! It was a hung jurry or mistrial guys. ROFLMAO! If he has lied then he has been punished enough already and if he is telling the truth then we all should be ashamed. Innocent until proven guilty I say. And the trial is now over. Wow just a couple more weeks until planting time.... long winter is almost over and hopefully our mean off season personalities go away with it.
