OK, everyone else has sounded off so I might as well throw my 2 cents worth in also! It is easy for people here to say, "get a gun, shoot-shovel-shutup, whatever.... I own quite a collection of guns, and have used guns to deter several people (some real bad dudes and some not so bad) from trespassing my property. I have never had to shoot anyone (yet)! Something to consider even more is the emotional after-effects of using deadly force. Even hardened law enforcement officials have trouble dealing with the memories and thought of having to take a life.... it IS NOT a joking matter! Or something to take lightly!!! Since the cops don't seem interested in doing anything. Go to the D.A. or the State Police.... raise a royal fuss!!! Also tell as many neighbors as you can about the situation. Get them involved!!! They will be more on gaurd about writing license plate numbers and watching for suspicious vehicles. I use a "high quality" trail camera for photographing wildlife. A good camera (stay away from the cheapo cameras like from "Wal-Mart" {puke!}) ....a good quality trail camera will only cost about what a shotgun costs. Many will stay activated for up to 2 weeks (as opposed to the cheapies who's batteries last only a couple days). They can be set to activate 24 hours a day and they also can have anti-theft devices made for them. I have seen pictures of people that were caught on camera and never knew they were being photographed. They are heat sensor activated! Use caution, stay safe, think, stay vigilant, be ready.... as for guns... I enjoy guns greatly, I keep some loaded (shotguns, high powered rifles and handguns) for emergencies like shooting wild dogs, but I truly pray that I NEVER have to shoot a person! (I have a suspicion that someone is stealing gas from my mowing tractors at one of my sheds... we will see what "developes!")

The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
